 (a) Authorization; Enforceability. This Amendment No. 2 has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of this Amendment No. 2 and the Credit Agreement, as amended
by this Amendment No. 2, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,








 
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) the application of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (b) No
Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment No. 2 nor the transactions contemplated herein will (i) violate any applicable law or regulation or the limited liability company operating agreement, charter,

(c) Continued Security Interest. On the date of this Amendment No. 2 and after giving effect to this Amendment
No. 2 and the transactions contemplated herein, the security interest created by and provided for in the Security Documents, shall constitute a valid first and prior perfected Lien on the Collateral (except that any such security interest in a
Special Equity Interest may be subject to a Lien in favor of a creditor of the issuer of such Special Equity Interest as contemplated by the definition of such term in Section 1.02 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement). The Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment No. 2 shall in no way constitute a release of the Borrower from its obligations under the Guarantee and Security Agreement. 

(d) Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment No. 2, the
present fair value of the assets of the Borrower will exceed the sum of the probable liabilities and identified contingent liabilities of the Borrower. The Borrower is solvent both before and after giving effect to the execution, delivery and
performance of this Amendment No. 2 and the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment No. 2) and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment No. 2, and is not, and after giving effect to the
execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment No. 2 and the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment No. 2) and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment No. 2, will not be (A)
left with unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business as it is proposed to be conducted and (B) unable to pay its debts (contingent or otherwise) as they mature. 

(e) Representations in Loan Documents. The representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article
III of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is itself qualified by materiality or reference to a Material
Adverse Effect, in which case it is true and correct in all respects, subject to such qualification) on and as of the date of this Amendment No. 2 and on the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below).

“amortization” for purposes of clause (a) of the definition of “Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness”, and any cash payment made by the Borrower in respect thereof shall constitute a “regularly scheduled payment, prepayment or
redemption of principal and interest in respect thereof required pursuant to the instruments evidencing such Indebtedness” within the meaning of clause (a) of Section 6.12 or (ii) constitute an event or condition described in clause (h) of
Article VII. Notwithstanding the prior sentence to the contrary, the Borrower shall only be permitted to make a cash payment on account of principal of Convertible Debt if (w) no Default exists at the time of, or immediately after, such
payment, (x) on the date of such payment, the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.07 after giving effect to such payment and (y) on the date of such payment, the Borrower delivers to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer that the Borrower is compliance with clauses (w) and (x) above. 

SECTION 1.04. Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial
nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any
change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such
purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall
have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed,
and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect)
to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all


  
 27 









 
terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election
under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower at “fair
value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) in
a manner such that any obligations relating to a lease that was accounted for by a Person as an operating lease as of the Effective Date and any similar lease entered into after the Effective Date by such Person shall be accounted for as obligations
relating to an operating lease and not as Capital Lease Obligations. 
 SECTION 1.05. Currencies; Currency Equivalents.

 (a) Currencies Generally. At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency”
or in any other provision of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Except as provided in
Section 2.10(b) and the last sentence of Section 2.17(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments, together with all other Borrowings and Letters of
Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Borrowing, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Multicurrency
Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (iv) the Multicurrency LC Exposure, (v) the Covered Debt Amount and (vi) the Borrowing Base or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment, the outstanding
principal amount of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing, Letter of Credit or Portfolio Investment, as the case may be, determined as of the date of such Borrowing or Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the
definition of the term “Interest Period”) or the date of valuation of such Portfolio Investment, as the case may be. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple
amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency).

 (b) Special Provisions Relating to Euro. Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the
National Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the
European Union applicable to the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account
of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this
Agreement with respect to an Agreed Foreign Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the
interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State;
provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 

Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this
Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such 

  
 28 









 
reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the
introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date hereof; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders with prior notice of the proposed change
with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to such proposed change.

Dollar Lenders exceeding the aggregate Dollar Commitments or (iii) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect;

(c) Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing (whether Eurocurrency, Syndicated ABR, Term ABR or Swingline) shall be in an aggregate amount
of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; provided that a Syndicated ABR Borrowing of a Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class or that is required to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement of such Class as contemplated by Section 2.05(f). Borrowings of more than one Class, Currency and Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that no more than twenty (20)
Eurocurrency Borrowings may be outstanding at the same time.

Commitment to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in Dollars and in Agreed Foreign Currencies, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender plus, without duplication, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of such Swingline Lender (in its capacity as a Dollar Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be) exceeding the Dollar
Equivalent of such Swingline Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans of both Classes exceeding the Dollar Equivalent of $75,000,000, (iii) the total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposures
exceeding the aggregate Dollar Commitments, (iv) the total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments or (v) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect;
provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail), (i) in the case of a Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of such proposed

the Multicurrency Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The applicable Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by
means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), by remittance to the
Issuing Bank) (x) in the case of a Swingline Loan, denominated in Dollars, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan and (y) in the case of a Swingline Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, by 3:00
p.m., London time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 
 (c) Participations by Syndicated Lenders in Swingline
Loans. Each Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in the case of Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) not later than

Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable Syndicated Lender, specifying in such notice such Syndicated Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage of such


  
 31 









 
Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Syndicated Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for account of such Swingline Lender, such Syndicated Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of such Swingline Loan or Loans, provided that no Syndicated
Lender shall be required to purchase a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) if (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Syndicated Borrowing at the time such
Swingline Loan was made and (y) the Required Lenders of the respective Class shall have so notified such Swingline Lender in writing and shall not have subsequently determined that the circumstances giving rise to such conditions not being
satisfied no longer exist. 
 Subject to the foregoing, each Syndicated Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination
of the Commitments of the respective Class, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Syndicated Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Syndicated Loans made by such Syndicated Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Syndicated Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan
acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by any Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or
other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Syndicated Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. 
 (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request the Issuing Bank to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and under either the Dollar Commitments or
Multicurrency Commitments, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or (in the case of Letters of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments) in any Agreed Foreign Currency for its own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries or any
Portfolio Company (provided that the Borrower shall remain primarily liable to the Issuing Bank and the Syndicated Lenders hereunder for payment and reimbursement of all amounts payable in respect of such Letter of Credit) in such form as is
acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination and for the benefit of such named beneficiary or beneficiaries as are specified by the Borrower. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Dollar Commitments
or the Multicurrency Commitments, as applicable, up to the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder plus any L/C Disbursements then outstanding. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower
shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a
Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued under the Dollar
Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitments, the name and 

  
 32 









 
address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also
shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. 
 (c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and
upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of the
Issuing Bank (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Syndicated Lenders pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section) shall not exceed $25,000,000, (ii) the total Revolving Dollar Credit
Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Dollar Commitments, (iii) the total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments and (iv) the total Covered Debt Amount shall not exceed the
Borrowing Base then in effect. 
 (d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after such renewal or extension, so long as such renewal or
extension occurs within three (3) months of such then-current expiration date) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may,
upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one (1) year or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed; provided further, however, that in no
event shall a Letter of Credit which expires after the Commitment Termination Date be renewed. 
 (e) Participations. By
the issuance of a Letter of Credit of a Class (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by the Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Syndicated Lenders, the Issuing Bank
hereby grants to each Syndicated Lender of such Class, and each Syndicated Lender of such Class hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Syndicated Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or
Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Syndicated Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the applicable Commitments, provided that no Syndicated Lender shall be required to purchase a participation in a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) if (x) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Syndicated Borrowing at the time such Letter of Credit was issued and (y) the Required Lenders of the respective Class shall have so notified the Issuing Bank in writing and shall not
have subsequently determined that the circumstances giving rise to such conditions not being satisfied no longer exist. 
 In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Syndicated Lender of a Class hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Issuing Bank, such Syndicated Lender’s Applicable Dollar
Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in respect of Letters of Credit of such Class promptly within one (1) Business Day of the request of the Issuing Bank at any time
from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, 

  
 33 









 
withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Syndicated Lender (and
Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Syndicated Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Syndicated Lenders.
Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Syndicated
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Syndicated Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Syndicated Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to
the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the
Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Syndicated ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan of the respective Class in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Syndicated ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. 

If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Syndicated Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Syndicated Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, thereof. 

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this
Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any
error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that: 

(i) the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a
Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice 

  
 34 









 
or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 

(ii) the Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such
payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 
 (iii) this
sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing). 
 (h) Disbursement
Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid
amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Syndicated ABR Loans;
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within two (2) Business Days following the date when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then the provisions of Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Syndicated Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be
for account of such Syndicated Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (j) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing
Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing
Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement,
(i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing
Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit. 
 (k) Cash Collateralization. If the Borrower shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure
pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.10(c) or the last paragraph of Article VII, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into a segregated collateral account or accounts (herein, collectively, the
“Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) in the name and under the dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, Cash denominated in the Currency of the Letter of Credit under which such LC Exposure arises in an amount equal to
the amount required under Section 2.09(a), 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(c) or the last paragraph of Article VII, as applicable. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure
under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the “Secured Obligations” under and as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement, and for these purposes the Borrower hereby grants a security interest


  
 35 









 
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other property
held therein. 
 SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m., Local Time (1:00 p.m.
Local Time for Eurocurrency Borrowings) to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that Syndicated ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank; provided further
that, Syndicated ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a Swingline Loan as provided in Section 2.04(c) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Swingline Lender. 

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR
Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.06(b) shall relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its
commitments hereunder, and shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. 
 (a) Elections by the Borrower for Syndicated Borrowings and Term Borrowings. Subject to Section 2.03(d), the Loans constituting each Syndicated Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing
of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, that (i) a
Syndicated Borrowing of a Class may only be continued or converted into a Syndicated Borrowing of the same Class, (ii) a Syndicated Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Syndicated Borrowing in a
different Currency, (iii) no Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments,
and (iv) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted to a Borrowing of a different Type. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case
each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders of the respective Class holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply
to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election
pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required 

  
 36 









 
under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Syndicated Borrowing or Term Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly (but no later than the close of business on the date of such request) by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a
written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Content
of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing (including the Class) to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are
being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in Dollars, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d). 
 (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details
thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the
Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, (i) if such Borrowing
is denominated in Dollars, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing of the same Class or a Term Borrowing, as the case may be, having an Interest Period of one (1) month, and
(ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing may have an Interest Period of more than one
(1) month’s duration. 
 SECTION 2.08. Termination, Reduction or Increase of the Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated (including as set forth in Section 2.08(f) below), the Commitments of each
Class shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. 
 (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at
any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be in an amount that is $3,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of the
Commitments of any Class) or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Dollar Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of
the Syndicated Loans of such Class in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class would exceed the total Commitments of such Class. 
 (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section
at least three (3) 

  
 37 









 
Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of a Class delivered by the
Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied. 
 (d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments of a Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

(e) Increase of the Commitments. 
 (i) Requests for Increase by Borrower. The Borrower may, at any time, propose that the Commitments hereunder be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment
Increase”) by notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional lender (each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed to an
additional Commitment and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three (3) Business Days after delivery of such notice and at least thirty
(30) days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that: 
 (A) the minimum amount of the
Commitment of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Commitment Increase shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or any other minimum
amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent); 
 (B) immediately after giving effect to such
Commitment Increase, the sum of total Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans shall not exceed $800,000,000; 

(C) no Non-Extending Lender may participate in any Commitment Increase unless in connection therewith, it shall have
agreed to become an “Extending Lender” hereunder; 
 (D) each Assuming Lender shall be consented to by
the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided however, the consent of the Issuing Bank shall not be required in connection with an increase of the Term
Commitment; 
 (E) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase Date or shall
result from the proposed Commitment Increase; and 
 (F) the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of
such specific date). 
 For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to agree to an additional Commitment requested
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(e). 
 (ii) Effectiveness of Commitment Increase by
Borrower. Each Assuming Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Commitment of the respective Class of any Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender shall be increased as of such Commitment
Increase Date; provided that: 
 (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 12:00
noon, New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the 

  
 38 









 
Administrative Agent) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in the foregoing paragraph
(i) has been satisfied; and 
 (B) each Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent), an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Commitment or an increase of Commitment in each case of the respective Class, duly executed by such Assuming
Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. 
 Promptly following
satisfaction of such conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Class (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system.

 (iii) Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(B)
above executed by an Assuming Lender or any Increasing Lender as applicable, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(A) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept such
agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. 
 (iv) Adjustments of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase. On the Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall (A) prepay the outstanding Loans (if any) of the affected Class in full,
(B) simultaneously borrow new Loans of such Class hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, with LIBO Rates equal to the outstanding LIBO Rate and with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any
then outstanding Interest Period(s) provided that for any outstanding Interest Period of less than one (1) month, the LIBO Rate will be equal to one (1) month LIBOR), as applicable (as modified hereby); provided that with respect to
subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and
(y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Class are
held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Class of such Lenders (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Lenders of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under
Section 2.15 as a result of any such prepayment. Concurrently therewith, the Lenders of such Class shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any outstanding Letters of Credit of such Class so that such interests are held
ratably in accordance with their Commitments of such Class. 
 (f) Mandatory Termination of Commitments of Non-Extending
Lenders. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Commitment Termination Date and, in connection therewith, each Extending Lender hereby agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any pro-rata reduction in its Commitments of the same Class notwithstanding Section 2.17(c) or any other provision hereof to the contrary.
 SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Repayment. The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans of each Class as follows: 
 (i) to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Syndicated Lenders of such Class, on the dates set forth on Schedule 2.09, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, a principal amount of the Syndicated Loans of such Class equal to
the percentage of Syndicated Loans of such Class outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date (in the case of the Extending Lenders) or Existing Commitment Termination Date (in the case of the Non-Extending Lenders) as set forth on Schedule 2.09
for 

  
 39 









 
such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount repaid. To the extent not previously paid (including as set forth in Section 2.10(g)), all Loans shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date; 
 (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Lenders, on
the Maturity Date, or if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, the unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount repaid; 

(iii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan of such Class denominated in
Dollars made by such Swingline Lender, on the earlier of the Commitment Termination Date (in the case of a Swingline Lender that is an Extending Lender) or the Existing Commitment Termination Date (in the case of a Swingline Lender that is a
Non-Extending Lender) and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the fifteenth or last day of a calendar month and is at least ten (10) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a
Syndicated Borrowing of such Class is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans of such Class then outstanding; and 
 (iv) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan of such Class denominated in a Foreign Currency made by such Swingline Lender, on the earlier of the Commitment
Termination Date (in the case of a Swingline Lender that is an Extending Lender) or the Existing Commitment Termination Date (in the case of a Swingline Lender that is a Non-Extending Lender) and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is
made. 
 In addition, on the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account Cash in an amount equal to 102% of the undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding on the close of business on the Commitment Termination Date, such deposit to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the
LC Exposure under this Agreement in respect of the undrawn portion of such Letters of Credit. 
 (b) Manner of Payment.
Subject to Section 2.09(a)(i), prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of such Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such selection not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of a Class shall be
applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied,
first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining
Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Syndicated Borrowing or a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. 
 (c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan
made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the
Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender of such Class hereunder and (iii) the amount
and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent obvious error, of
the existence and amounts of the obligations 

  
 40 









 
recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may
request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and
its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by
one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without any penalty or premium (other than amounts payable under Section 2.15, if any), subject to the requirements of this Section; provided
that, the Borrower shall not be permitted to prepay any Term Borrowing in whole or in part prior to the Commitment Termination Date unless an equivalent ratable amount of Multicurrency Commitments and Dollar Commitments are terminated in
accordance with Section 2.08(b) in connection with such prepayment. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments due to Changes in Exchange
Rates. 
 (i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and, in addition, promptly
upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding
principal amount of any Loan that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of such Quarterly Date or, in the case of a Currency Valuation
Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on a Business Day, as of such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, as of the first Business Day after such Currency
Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Multicurrency Lenders and the Borrower thereof. 
 (ii) Prepayment. If, on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments as then in effect,
the Borrower shall, if requested by the Required Multicurrency Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), prepay the Syndicated Multicurrency Loans and Swingline Multicurrency Loans (and/or provide cover for Multicurrency LC Exposure as specified
in Section 2.05(k)) within fifteen (15) Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of such request in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure does
not exceed the Multicurrency Commitments. 
 For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the
Required Multicurrency Lenders to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one (1) valuation determination pursuant to Currency Valuation Notices within any rolling three-month period. 
 Any prepayment required pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied, first, to Swingline Multicurrency Loans outstanding, second, to Syndicated Multicurrency Loans outstanding and
third, as cover for Multicurrency LC Exposure. 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency. In
the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, the Borrower shall prepay the Syndicated Loans and/or the Term Loans (subject to 

  
 41 









 
Section 2.10(e)(ii), at the option of the Borrower) (or provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.05(k)) or reduce Other Covered Indebtedness (among such components
thereof determined by the Borrower) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such Borrowing Base Deficiency
(and/or at such other times as the Borrower has knowledge of such Borrowing Base Deficiency); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of such prepayment of Loans (and cover for Letters of Credit) shall be at least equal to the Revolving
Credit Exposure’s and Term Loans’ ratable share of the aggregate prepayment and reduction of Other Covered Indebtedness and (ii) if, within five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such
Borrowing Base Deficiency (and/or at such other times as the Borrower has knowledge of such Borrowing Base Deficiency), the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan to enable such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be
cured within thirty (30) Business Days (which (30)-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall not be required to be effected within such five (5)
Business Day period so long as the Borrower shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to effectuate such prepayment or reduction but may be effected in accordance with such plan (with such modifications as the Borrower may reasonably determine),
so long as such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within such 30-Business Day period. 
 (d) Mandatory Prepayments due to
Non-Approved Change in Investment Policies. In the event that at any time the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall amend, change, supplement or otherwise modify the Investment Policies in any manner that is, or that could reasonably be
expected to be, materially adverse to the Lenders in any respect (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without the Borrower or such Subsidiary having obtained the consent referred to in clause (b) of the proviso to the definition of Investment
Policies), the Borrower shall, if requested by the Required Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), prepay the Loans then outstanding in full, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued
hereunder; provided that, no prepayment shall be required to the extent such amendment, change, supplement or modification is mandated by applicable law, rule or regulation (including the provisions of the Investment Company Act
applicable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries). 
 (e) Prepayment Allocations. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in Section 2.09 or this Section 2.10: 
 (i) following the Commitment Termination Date, no optional
prepayment of the Loans of any Class shall be permitted unless at such time, the Borrower also prepays the Loans of each other Class (unless such prepayment is waived by the Required Lenders of such Class), which prepayment shall be made on a pro
rata basis between each outstanding Class; and 
 (ii) any prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant
to clause (c) above shall be applied to prepay Syndicated Loans and/or Term Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Lender’s pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans as of such date.

 (f) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline
Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (or, in the case
of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 12:00 noon, London time), three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of
prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan denominated in a
Foreign Currency, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case
of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments of a Class as
contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if 

  
 42 









 
such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing or a Term Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the affected Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02,
except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Syndicated Borrowing of a Class shall be applied ratably to the Loans of such Class included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.09(b). 
 (g) Special Mandatory Repayment/Prepayment to Non-Extending Lenders. On the Existing Maturity Date (or, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on such earlier
date on or after the Amendment Effective Date as the Borrower may elect by written notice in accordance with Section 2.10(f)), the Borrower shall repay or prepay (as the case may be) all of the Loans of the Non-Extending Lenders and, in connection
therewith, each Extending Lender hereby agrees that, so long as its Loans are not otherwise due and payable hereunder, it shall not be entitled to any pro-rata repayment of its Loans of the same Class notwithstanding Section 2.17(c) or any other
provision hereof to the contrary. If any LC Exposure exists at the time of such repayment or prepayment to the Non-Extending Lenders: 
 (i) all of such LC Exposure held by the Non-Extending Lenders shall be reallocated among the remaining Multicurrency Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Multicurrency Percentages but
only to the extent (x) the sum of all Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures does not exceed the total of all Extending Lenders’ Multicurrency Commitments, (y) no Extending Lender’s Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure will exceed
such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment, and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall on the day of such prepayment to the Non-Extending Lenders also prepay Loans in
accordance with Section 2.10(a) in an amount such that after giving effect thereto, all LC Exposure of the Non-Extending Lenders could be reallocated in accordance with clause (i) above (whereupon such LC Exposure shall be so reallocated regardless
of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time). 
 Upon termination of the Non-Extending Lenders’
Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08(f) and the reallocation of the Non-Extending Lenders’ LC Exposure and repayment of each Non-Extending Lender’s Loans and all other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Extending Lenders in accordance
with this clause (g), the Non-Extending Lenders shall cease being party to this Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to such date.

 SECTION 2.11. Fees. 
 (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Syndicated Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.375% per annum on the average
daily unused amount of the Dollar Commitment and Multicurrency Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment terminates and the Commitment
Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable within one (1) Business Day after each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the Commitments of the respective Class terminate and the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Dollar Commitment or Multicurrency Commitments, as applicable, of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Syndicated Loans, LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of
such Class of such Lender. 

  
 43 









 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative
Agent for account of each Syndicated Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit of each Class, which shall accrue at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Loans on the
average daily amount of such Syndicated Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date on which such Syndicated Lender’s Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Syndicated Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure of such Class, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the
rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder; provided that, no fees will accrue under this Section 2.11(b) on any Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Letter of Credit that the Borrower has Cash Collateralized the obligations thereunder pursuant to Section
2.19(a). Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;
provided that all such fees with respect to the Letters of Credit of a Class shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments of such Class terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which such Commitments terminate shall be
payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c)
Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Payment of Fees. (i) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment fees and participation fees, to the Syndicated Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances absent obvious error. 
 (ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during
such period as a Syndicated Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) or (b) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in
respect of such fees); provided that (A) to the extent that all or any portion of the LC Exposure or the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(b), such fees
that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Dollar Commitments and Multicurrency
Commitments, as applicable, and (B) to the extent all or any portion of such LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline
Lender, as applicable (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.17(c) will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section). 
 SECTION 2.12. Interest. 
 (a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR
Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin. 

  
 44 









 (c) Foreign Currency Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans denominated in Foreign
Currencies shall bear interest at a rate per annum agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender at the time the respective Swingline Loans are made; provided that if any such Loan shall continue outstanding for more than
five (5) Business Days, such Loan shall be deemed automatically converted into a Eurocurrency Loan held solely by such Swingline Lender with consecutive Interest Periods of one-month’s duration. 

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph
(a) of this Section. 
 (e) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan in the Currency in which such Loan is denominated and, in the case of Syndicated Loans and Term Loans, upon the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Syndicated ABR Loan prior to the Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or
prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such
Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate 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). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of
Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing of a Class (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”): 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their
respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower
and the affected Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Syndicated Borrowing or Term Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing or Term Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be
ineffective and, if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Syndicated Borrowing or Term Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Syndicated ABR Borrowing or Term ABR Borrowing, as applicable, (ii) if the Affected
Currency is Dollars and any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as a Syndicated ABR Borrowing or a Term ABR Borrowing, as applicable, and (iii) if the Affected Currency is a
Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective. 

  
 45 









 SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. 

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d)
of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other
than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such
Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as
the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or
any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline
Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed to be material by such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in Dollars such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a
Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts in Dollars necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to
the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within then (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 46 









 SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor,
(c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Syndicated Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(e) and
is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the
Borrower shall compensate each affected Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding in any event, loss of anticipated profits). In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such
event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of 
 (i)
the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of
the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable
on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Currency for such Interest Period, over 

(ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to
invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated in such Currency from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such
period. 
 Payment under this Section shall be made upon request of a Lender delivered not later than five (5) Business Days following the
payment, conversion, or failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim under this Section accompanied by a certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. 
 (a) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as
required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable
Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then
the sum payable by the Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (c) Payment of
Other Taxes. The Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification by the Obligors. The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days
after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such


  
 47 









 
Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the
Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 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 paragraph (e). 
 (f) Evidence of
Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Obligor 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. 

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section
2.16(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 
 (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
copies 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: 

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, 

  
 48 









 
executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 
 (IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-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 D-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 copies 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 that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any
form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do
so. 
 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an


  
 49 









 
amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay
to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would
place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be
construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the
Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

SECTION 2.17. 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 reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. 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 the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to the
Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient 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 amounts owing under this Agreement (including commitment fees, payments required under Section 2.14, and payments required under Section 2.15 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but
not including principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.15 or any reimbursement or Cash Collateralization of any LC Exposure denominated in any
Foreign Currency, which are payable in such Foreign Currency) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal
of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date
thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall
be payable on demand; and if the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand. 

  
 50 









 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees of a Class then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees
of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees of such Class then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements
of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements of such Class then due to such parties. 

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Syndicated Borrowing of a Class shall be
made from the Lenders of such Class, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.11 shall be made for account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a Class under
Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of such Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Syndicated Borrowing of a Class shall be allocated
pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Syndicated Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing
(in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Syndicated Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Syndicated Lenders of such Class pro rata in
accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Syndicated Loans of such Class held by them; (iv) each payment of interest on Syndicated Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Syndicated Lenders of such

 (d)
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 Syndicated Loans, Term Loans, or participations in
LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Syndicated Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, and accrued interest
thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Syndicated Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans, of other Lenders, as applicable, 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 Syndicated Loans, Term Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to 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 or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other
than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against 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. 
 (e) Presumptions of Payment. 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 account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may


  
 51 









 
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 or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate. 

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of
such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates,
if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any cost or
expense not required to be reimbursed by the Borrower and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (as
provided in Section 9.02(e)), 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 9.04), 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 (and, if a Dollar Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders), 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 and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lender Provisions 
 (a) Cash Collateral Call. If any Syndicated Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan is at the time outstanding, the Issuing
Bank and the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be, may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(b)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through
the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to 

  
 52 









 
the Issuing Bank and such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations
(contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be, in
their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) Reallocation of
Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Syndicated Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding LC Exposure and any outstanding Swingline Exposure of
such Defaulting Lender: 
 (i) the LC Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject
to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in the applicable Class pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments of such Class; provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Credit Exposure, total Swingline Exposure and total LC Exposure of such Class may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such
Class of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; 

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
and Swingline Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than five (5) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the
Issuing Bank and/or the applicable Swingline Lender, as the case may be), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Bank and such Swingline Lender in respect of such LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure, as the case may be,
in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure, or (B) in the case of such Swingline Exposure, prepay (subject to clause (iii) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the
unreallocated portion thereof, or (C) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment
by such Defaulting Lender; and 
 (iii) any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be
retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.19(e)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lenders (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to
the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to
the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due
and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and
seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. 

  
 53 









 (c) Drawdown Notices. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Syndicated Lender
becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each of the Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion,
through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in such amounts and at such times as may be required to (i) reimburse an outstanding LC Disbursement, (ii) repay an outstanding Swingline Loan, and/or (iii) Cash
Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter
of Credit or Swingline Loan. 
 (d) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. The Borrower may terminate the unused
amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.19(b)(iii) will
apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be
deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

(e) Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders agree in writing in their
discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include
arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.19(b)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other
adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure, LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments,
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed
by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(f) Hedging Agreements. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender will not enter into any Hedging Agreement with
the Borrower while such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 2.20. Effective Date Allocations. On the Effective
Date, (a) the Multicurrency Lenders shall be deemed to have made Multicurrency Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount as of the Effective Date of “Multicurrency Loans”, “LC Disbursements” and
“Swingline Loans” (as each such term is defined in the January 2010 Credit Agreement) and the proceeds of such Multicurrency Loans shall be deemed used to prepay such amounts outstanding under the January 2010 Credit Agreement as of the
Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.10(a) therein and (b) the Term Lenders shall be deemed to have made Term Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount as of the Effective Date of “Loans” (as such term

that each Multicurrency Lender has a ratable portion of the Multicurrency Loans, LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans in accordance with their portion of the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments as of the Effective Date. Each


  
 54 









 
Lender that is a lender under the January 2010 Credit Agreement or the Existing Term Loan Agreement, as the case may be, hereby waives its right to receive payment of any break funding payments
under Section 2.15 of the January 2010 Credit Agreement and Section 2.13 of the Existing Term Loan Agreement, as the case may be, arising as a result of the prepayments and allocations described in this Section 2.20. The Borrower hereby
consents to the foregoing assignments.

(a) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and

date;

such Letter of Credit, as applicable, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (c) either (i) the aggregate
Covered Debt Amount (after giving effect to such extension of credit) shall not exceed the Borrowing Base reflected on the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent or (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered

SECTION 4.03. Additional Provisions. In addition to the other conditions precedent herein set forth, if any Lender becomes, and
during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank will not be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit, and the Swingline Lenders will not be required to make any Swingline Loan, unless
the Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender, as the case may be, is satisfied that any exposure that would result therefrom is fully covered or eliminated by any combination satisfactory to the Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender of the
following: 
 (a) the LC Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated, as to outstanding and
future Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as provided in clause (i) of Section 2.19(b); 
 (b)
without limiting the provisions of Section 2.19(a), the Borrower Cash Collateralizes the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated
obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan, or makes other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender in
their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and 

  
 60 









 (c) then in the case of a proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit or making of a Swingline
Loan, by an instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender, as the case may be, the Borrower agrees that the face amount of such requested Letter
of Credit or the principal amount of such requested Swingline Loan will be reduced by an amount equal to the unreallocated, non-Cash Collateralized portion thereof as to which such Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, in which case the
obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan will, subject to the first proviso below, be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and the pro
rata payment provisions of Section 2.17(c) will be deemed adjusted to reflect this provision; 
 provided that (i) the sum of each
Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Credit Exposure, total Swingline Exposure and total LC Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (ii) neither any such reallocation nor any payment by a
Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto nor any such Cash Collateralization or reduction will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders or any other Lender may have
against such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender.

prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03. 
 SECTION 5.04. Payment of
Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay its obligations, including tax liabilities and material contractual obligations, that, if not paid, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times as reasonably requested, provided that the Borrower or such
Subsidiary shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books and records provided further that, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the inspection rights set forth

cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than Financing Subsidiaries and Immaterial Subsidiaries) to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent (including any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the
Administrative Agent) to conduct evaluations and appraisals of the Borrower’s computation of the Borrowing Base and the assets included in the 

  
 64 









 
Borrowing Base, all at such reasonable times as requested, provided that, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the audit rights set forth in this Section 5.06(b)
may only be exercised once per calendar quarter. The Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such evaluation or appraisal; provided that the Borrower shall
not be required to pay such fees and expenses for more than one (1) such evaluation or appraisal during any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent evaluation or appraisal during such
calendar year. The Borrower also agrees to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing Base to the extent required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as a result of any such evaluation or appraisal, provided that if the
Borrower demonstrates that such evaluation or appraisal is incorrect, the Borrower shall be permitted to re-adjust its computation of the Borrowing Base. 
 SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it
or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its business and other activities in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act (including, without limiting the foregoing, Section 18(a)(1)(A) and any
applicable “asset coverage” maintenance requirement) and any applicable rules, regulations or orders issued by the SEC thereunder. The Borrower will maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by it, its
Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and investment advisors with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. 
 SECTION 5.08. Certain Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances. 
 (a) New Subsidiaries. In the event that (i) the Borrower shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (other than a Financing Subsidiary, Immaterial Subsidiary or Controlled Foreign Corporation), (ii)
any Subsidiary ceases to constitute an Immaterial Subsidiary, a Financing Subsidiary or a Controlled Foreign Corporation, or (iii) the Borrower shall designate any other Subsidiary (other than a Financing Subsidiary) as a Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Borrower will, within ten (10) Business Days thereof, cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary. 
 (b) Further Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent to
effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time (including filing appropriate
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and executing and delivering such assignments, security agreements and other instruments) as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (i) to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (and any affiliate thereof that is a party to any Hedging Agreement entered into with the Borrower) and the holders of any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, perfected security interests and Liens in
the Collateral; provided that any such security interest or Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security Documents; provided further, that in the case of any Collateral consisting of voting stock of any
Controlled Foreign Corporation, such security interest shall be limited to 66.0% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of such Controlled Foreign Corporation, and (ii) to cause any bank or securities intermediary (within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code) to enter into such arrangements with the Collateral Agent as shall be appropriate so that the Collateral Agent has “control” over each bank account or securities account of the Obligors, and in that connection, the
Borrower agrees to cause all cash and other proceeds of Portfolio Investments received by any Obligor to be promptly deposited into such an account (or otherwise delivered to, or registered in the name of, the Collateral Agent) and, until such
deposit, delivery or registration, such cash and other proceeds shall be held in trust by the Borrower for and as the property of the Collateral Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of the Borrower. 

  
 65 









 SECTION 5.09. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only
to prepay principal, interest, fees and other amounts outstanding under the January 2010 Credit Agreement and the Existing Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of
this Agreement and for general corporate purposes of the Borrower in the ordinary course of business, including the acquisition and funding (either directly or through one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries) of secured and unsecured leveraged loans,
mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities, preferred stock, common stock and other Portfolio Investments; provided that the proceeds of any Syndicated Loan shall first be used the repay all Swingline Loans outstanding at
the time such Syndicated Loan is made; provided further that, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in
violation of applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loan or otherwise make available such proceeds (a) to fund or finance any operations,
investments, business or activities of or with a Sanctioned Person or in a Sanctioned Country or in any other manner that will result in a violation of any Sanctions, Anti-Terrorism Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws or (b) for the purpose, whether
immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock. Margin Stock shall be purchased by the Obligors only with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock, or with the proceeds of equity
capital of the Borrower. 
 SECTION 5.10. Status of RIC and BDC. The Borrower shall (a) maintain its status as a RIC
under the Code, and (b) maintain its status as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act. 

SECTION 5.11. Investment Policies. The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance with its Investment Policies, except to the
extent that the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.12.
Portfolio Valuation and Diversification, Etc. 
 (a) Industry Classification Groups. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall in its reasonable determination assign each Portfolio Investment to an Industry Classification Group. To the extent that any Portfolio Investment is not correlated with the risks of other Portfolio Investments in an Industry
Classification Group established by Moody’s, such Portfolio Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to the Industry Classification Group that is most closely correlated to such Portfolio Investment. In the absence of any correlation, the
Borrower shall be permitted, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender to create up to three (3) additional industry classification groups for purposes of this Agreement. 

(b) Portfolio Valuation, Etc. 
 (i) Settlement Date Basis. Solely for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, all determinations of whether an investment is to be included as a Portfolio Investment shall be determined on a
settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated as a Portfolio Investment until such purchase has settled, and any Portfolio Investment which has been sold will not be excluded as a Portfolio Investment
until such sale has settled); provided that no such investment shall be included as a Portfolio Investment to the extent that it has not been paid for in full. 

(ii) Determination of Values. The Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its
Portfolio Investment as follows: 
 (A) Quoted Investments – External Review. With respect to
Portfolio Investments (including Cash Equivalents) for which market quotations are readily available (“Quoted Investments”), the Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar week, determine the market value of such
Portfolio Investments which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies (as selected by the Borrower): 
 (w) in the case of public and 144A securities, the average of the mean prices as determined by two (2) Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower, 

  
 66 









 (x) in the case of bank loans, the mean price as determined by one (1)
Approved Dealer or Approved Pricing Service selected by the Borrower, 
 (y) in the case of any Portfolio
Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Portfolio Investment most recently posted on such exchange, and 
 (z) in the case of any other Portfolio Investment, the fair market value thereof as determined by an Approved Pricing Service; and 

(B) Unquoted Investments – External Review. With respect to Portfolio Investments for which market quotations
are not readily available (“Unquoted Investments”), the Borrower shall request an Approved Third-Party Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Borrower in determining the fair market value of such Portfolio Investments, as
at the last day of each fiscal quarter; provided that, the Board of Directors of the Borrower shall be permitted to determine the fair market value of such Portfolio Investments without the assistance of any Approved Third-Party
Appraiser for Portfolio Investments representing no more than 10% of the Borrowing Base at any time of determination; provided further, that the Value of any such Portfolio Investment (i.e. a Portfolio Investment for which market
quotations are not readily available) acquired during a fiscal quarter shall be deemed to be equal to the cost of such Portfolio Investment until such time as the fair market value of such Portfolio Investment is determined in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this sub-clause (B) as at the last day of such fiscal quarter; 
 (C) Internal
Review. The Borrower shall conduct internal reviews of all Portfolio Investments at least once each calendar week which shall take into account any events of which the Borrower has knowledge that materially and adversely affect the value of the
Portfolio Investments. The lower value of any Portfolio Investment as most recently determined pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) and pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(A) and (B) shall be deemed to be the “Value” of such
Portfolio Investment for purposes hereof; 
 (D) Failure to Determine Values. If the Borrower shall fail
to determine the value of any Portfolio Investment for which market quotation(s) are not readily available as at any date pursuant to the requirements of the foregoing sub-clauses (A) or (B), then the “Value” of such Portfolio
Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero until such time as the value of such Portfolio Investment is otherwise determined or reviewed, as applicable, in accordance herewith. 

(c) Scheduled Testing of Values. 

(i) Each April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 30 of each calendar year (or such other quarterly dates as
are reasonably agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent each a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Administrative Agent, through a reputable independent valuation provider with experience in middle market assets
selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Independent Valuation Provider”), will test the values as of such Valuation Testing Date determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) above of those Portfolio Investments included in the
Borrowing Base selected by the Administrative Agent. The fair value of such Portfolio Investments tested as of any Valuation Testing Date shall be approximately equal to the Tested Amount (as defined below). 

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Tested Amount” shall be equal to the greater of: (A) an amount equal
to (y) 125% of the Covered Debt Amount (as of the applicable Valuation Testing Date) minus (z) the sum of the values of all Quoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base (as of the applicable Valuation Testing Date) and (B) 10% of the
aggregate value of all Unquoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base; provided, however, in no event shall more than 25% of the aggregate value of the Unquoted Investments in the Borrowing Base be tested by the Independent
Valuation Provider in respect of any applicable Valuation Testing Date (or, if clause (B) applies, 10%, or as near thereto as reasonably practicable). 
 (iii) With respect to any Portfolio Investment, if the value of such Portfolio Investment determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is not more than the lesser of (A) 110% of the
midpoint of the 

  
 67 









 
valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider and (B) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range (expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent
Valuation Provider (provided that the value of such Portfolio Investment is customarily quoted as a percentage of par, otherwise this clause (B) shall not be applicable), then the value for such Portfolio Investment determined by the Borrower in
accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement. If the value of any Portfolio Investment determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is greater than the lesser of
the values set forth in clause (iii)(A) and (B) (to the extent applicable), then for such Portfolio Investment, the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement shall become the lesser of (x) the highest value of the valuation range provided by
the Independent Valuation Provider, (y) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range (expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider (provided that the value of such Portfolio Investment is customarily
quoted as a percentage of par, otherwise this clause (y) shall not be applicable) and (z) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, any values determined by the
Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this Section 5.12(c) or Section 5.12(d) shall be used solely for purposes of determining the “Value” of a Portfolio Investment under this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be the fair value of
such asset as required under ASC 820 and the Investment Company Act. 
 (d) Supplemental Testing of
Values. 
 (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, individually or at the request of the
Required Lenders, shall at any time have the right to request, in its reasonable discretion, any Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base with a value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) to be independently tested
by the Independent Valuation Provider. There shall be no limit on the number of such tests that may be requested by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. 

(ii) If (A) the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is less than the value determined by the
Independent Valuation Provider, then the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement and (B) the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.12(b)(ii) is greater than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is: (x) less than 5% of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the value
determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall become the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement; (y) between 5% and 20% of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the
“Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement shall become the average of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by such Independent Valuation Provider; and (z)
greater than 20% of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall retain an additional third party appraiser to conduct a valuation of such Portfolio Investment and, upon
the completion of such appraisal, the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement shall become the average of the three valuations (with the average of the Independent Valuation Provider’s value and the
Borrower’s value to be used as the “Value” until the third value is obtained). 
 (iii) The Value
of any Portfolio Investment for which the Independent Valuation Provider’s value is used shall be the midpoint of the range (if any) determined by the Independent Valuation Provider. 

(e) Generally Applicable Valuation Provisions. 

(i) The Independent Valuation Provider shall apply a recognized valuation methodology that is commonly accepted in the
Borrower’s industry for valuing Portfolio Investments of the type being valued and held by the Obligors. Other procedures relating to the valuation will be reasonably agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

(ii) All valuations shall be on a settlement date basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Value of any Portfolio Investment
determined in accordance with this Section 5.12 shall be the Value of such Portfolio 

  
 68 









 
Investment for purposes of this Agreement until a new Value for such Portfolio Investment is subsequently determined in good faith in accordance with this Section 5.12. 

(iii) The values determined by the Independent Valuation Provider shall be deemed to be “Information” hereunder
and subject to Section 9.13 hereof. 
 (iv) All tests by the Independent Valuation Provider shall be conducted in
a manner not disruptive to the business of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of its receipt of the final results of any such test promptly upon its receipt thereof and shall provide a copy of such results and the
related report to the Borrower promptly upon the Borrower’s request. 
 (f) Regulated Investment Company
Diversification Requirement. The Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries (other than Financing Subsidiaries that are exempt from the Investment Company Act) at all times to, subject to applicable grace periods set forth in the Code,
comply with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Code applicable to RIC’s. 
 SECTION
5.13. Calculation of Borrowing Base. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the Advance Rates of the Value of each Portfolio Investment
(excluding any cash held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(k)), provided that: 
 (i) the
Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments (other than Cash and Cash Equivalents) of all issuers in a consolidated group of corporations or other entities, in accordance with GAAP, that exceeds 10% of
Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which, for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 50% of the Advance Rate otherwise applicable; 

(ii) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments (other than Cash and
Cash Equivalents) of all issuers in a consolidated group of corporations or other entities, in accordance with GAAP, exceeding 20% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which, for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate
amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be 0%; 
 (iii) the Advance Rate
applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments (other than Cash and Cash Equivalents) attributable to common equity, warrants, Portfolio Investments that are not Performing and Portfolio Investments where less than
66.67% of the interest (including accretions and “pay-in-kind” interest) for the current monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual period (as applicable) is payable in cash, exceeding 20% of the Borrowing Base shall be 0%; 

(iv) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments (other than Cash and
Cash Equivalents) in any single Industry Classification Group that exceeds 20% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of investments in, and advances to, Financing
Subsidiaries) shall be 0%; provided that, with respect to the Portfolio Investments in a single Industry Classification Group from time to time designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, such 20% figure shall be increased
to 30% and, accordingly, only to the extent that the Value for such single Industry Classification Group exceeds 30% of the Shareholders’ Equity shall the Advance Rate applicable to such excess Value be 0%; 

(v) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments (other than Common
Equity) in which the Borrower has a controlling influence as determined under the Investment Company Act that exceeds 5% of Shareholders’ Equity of the Borrower (which for purposes of this calculation shall exclude the aggregate amount of
investments in, and advances to, Financing Subsidiaries) shall be the Advance Rate applicable to Performing Common Equity (to the extent such Portfolio Investments are Performing) or 0%, 

(vi) The Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments (other than Cash and
Cash Equivalents) attributable to Venture Loans exceeding 45% of the Borrowing Base shall be 0%, and 

  
 69 









 (vii) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the Value of the
Portfolio Investments attributable to any investment in a Financing Subsidiary shall be 0%. 
 (b) No Portfolio Investment may
be included in the Borrowing Base until such time as such Portfolio Investment has been Delivered (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent, and then only for so long as such Portfolio Investment continues to be
Delivered as contemplated therein; provided that in the case of any Portfolio Investment in which the Collateral Agent has a first priority perfected security interest pursuant to a valid Uniform Commercial Code filing (and for which no other method
of perfection with a higher priority is possible), such Portfolio Investment may be included in the Borrowing Base so long as all remaining actions to complete “Delivery” are satisfied within seven (7) Business Days of such inclusion.
Voting stock of any Controlled Foreign Corporation in excess of 66.0% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of such Controlled Foreign Corporation shall not be included as a Portfolio Investment for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base.

 For the avoidance of doubt, to avoid double counting of excess concentrations, any Advance Rate reductions set forth under this Section 5.13
shall be without duplication of any other such Advance Rate reductions. 
 (c) As used herein, the following terms have the
following meanings:

(D) thereof, minus (y) the amount, if any, by which dividends and distributions made during such taxable year pursuant to the foregoing clause (b) (whether in respect of such taxable year or the previous taxable year) based
upon the Borrower’s estimate of taxable income exceeded the actual amounts specified in subclauses (i) and (ii) of such foregoing clause (b) for such taxable year.

 SECTION 6.06. Certain Restrictions on Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any
of its Subsidiaries (other than Financing Subsidiaries) to enter into or suffer to exist any indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement (other than the Loan Documents) that prohibits or restrains, in each case in any material respect, or
imposes materially adverse conditions upon, the incurrence or payment of Indebtedness, the granting of Liens, the declaration or payment of dividends, the making of loans, advances, guarantees or Investments or the sale, assignment, transfer or
other disposition of property by any Obligor; provided that, the foregoing shall not apply to (i) indentures, agreements, instruments or other agreements pertaining to other Indebtedness permitted hereunder so long as it is not, in the
Borrower’s good faith judgment, more restrictive or burdensome in respect of the foregoing activities than the Loan Documents (provided that, in any event, such restrictions would not adversely affect the exercise of rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Security Documents or impair the rights or ability of any Obligor in any manner from performing its obligations under the Loan Documents) and (ii) indentures,
agreements, instruments or other agreements pertaining to any lease, sale or other disposition of any asset permitted by this Agreement or any Lien permitted by this Agreement on such asset so long as the applicable restrictions only apply to the
assets subject to such lease, sale, other disposition or Lien.

on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties; provided that, affiliate transactions that are expressly permitted to be
undertaken by a business development company under the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder will be deemed to be in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Section 6.08, (b) transactions
between or among the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (c) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 6.05, (d) the transactions provided in the Affiliate Agreements, (e) transactions described on Schedule IV, (f) any
Investment that results in the creation of an Affiliate, (g) Permitted Directing Body-Approved Affiliate Transactions; and (h) transactions between or among the Obligors and any SBIC Subsidiary at prices and on terms and conditions not less

extent in any business other than in accordance with its Investment Policies. 
 SECTION 6.10. No Further Negative

of its properties, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or which requires the grant of any security for an obligation if security is granted for another obligation, except the following: (a) this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; (b) covenants in documents creating Liens permitted by Section 6.02 prohibiting further Liens on the assets encumbered thereby; (c) customary restrictions contained in leases not subject to a waiver; and (d) any
other agreement that does not restrict in any manner (directly or indirectly) Liens created pursuant to the Loan 

  
 77 









 
Documents on any Collateral securing the “Secured Obligations” under and as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement and does not require the direct or indirect granting of any
Lien securing any Indebtedness or other obligation by virtue of the granting of Liens on or pledge of property of any Obligor to secure the Loans or any Hedging Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.11. Modifications of Longer-Term Documents. Without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (with the approval of the Required Lenders), the Borrower will not consent to any
modification, supplement or waiver of: 
 (a) any of the provisions of any agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or
relating to any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness or Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness that would result in such Indebtedness not meeting the requirements of the definition of “Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness” and “Unsecured
Longer-Term Indebtedness”, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.01 of this Agreement, unless (i) in the case of Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be incurred as Secured Shorter-Term
Indebtedness at the time of such modification, supplement or waiver and the Borrower so designates such Indebtedness as “Secured Shorter-Term Indebtedness” (whereupon such Indebtedness shall be deemed to constitute “Secured
Shorter-Term Indebtedness” for all purposes of this Agreement) and (ii) in the case of Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness, such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be incurred as Unsecured Shorter-Term Indebtedness at the time of
such modification, supplement or waiver and the Borrower so designates such Indebtedness as “Unsecured Shorter-Term Indebtedness” (whereupon such Indebtedness shall be deemed to constitute “Unsecured Shorter-Term Indebtedness”
for all purposes of this Agreement) or 
 (b) any of the Affiliate Agreements (other than in connection with any Permitted
Directing Body-Approved Affiliate Transaction), unless such modification, supplement or waiver is not less favorable to the Borrower than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties. 

SECTION 6.12. Payments of Longer-Term Indebtedness. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, or set apart any money for a sinking, defeasance or other analogous fund for the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of, or make any voluntary payment or prepayment of the
principal of or interest on, or any other amount owing in respect of, any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness or Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness (other than the refinancing of Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness or Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness
with Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01), except for (a) regularly scheduled payments, prepayments or redemptions of principal and interest in respect thereof required pursuant to the instruments evidencing such Indebtedness,

ARTICLE VIII 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authority.
Each Lender Party hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. as its administrative agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than the first sentence of Section 8.06(a)) are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent Individually. (a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender Party as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as a financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lender Parties. 
 (b) Each Lender Party understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in
its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and
investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Article VIII as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Obligors or their respective
Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Obligors and their
Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Obligor or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or


  
 81 









 
holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Obligors or their Affiliates. Each Lender Party understands and agrees that in
engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Obligors or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Obligors to perform their respective Obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lender Parties that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have
any duty to disclose to any Lender Party or use on behalf of the Lender Parties, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except
that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender Party such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lender Parties. 

(c) Each Lender Party further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective
customers (including the Obligors and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lender Parties (including the interests of the Lender Parties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender Party agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the
Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender Party. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the
Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Obligors or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Obligors to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents)
nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender Party
including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Obligors or their Affiliates) or for its own account. 

SECTION 8.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent’s duties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so
acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law,
including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor
Relief Law. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 9.02 or Article VIII) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any
Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender Party shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default and such event or events. 
 (c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or
other information made or 

  
 82 









 
supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest
created or purported to be created by the Security Documents or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require
the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender Party and each Lender Party confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is
solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. 

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender Party, the Administrative Agent
may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender Party unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender Party prior to the
making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender Party shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender Party’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice
of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 SECTION 8.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and
the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under the
Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 8.06. Resignation of Administrative
Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender Parties and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the
Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in consultation with the Borrower), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Party Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth
above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lender Parties, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of
the Lender Party Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lender Parties 

  
 83 









 
that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be
no earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender Party directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between
the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Administrative Agent shall, unless
such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lender Parties otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit where such advance,
issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, (iii) the successor Swingline Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption and acquire from the retiring Swingline Lender each outstanding Swingline Loan of such retiring Swingline Lender for a purchase price equal to par plus
accrued interest and (iv) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the retiring Issuing Bank and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 (c) In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank and/or any Swingline Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, respectively, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of
such notice); provided that such resignation by the Issuing Bank will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement
with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to the Issuing Bank; and provided, further, that such resignation by any Swingline Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swingline
Loans or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swingline Loan. 
 SECTION 8.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lender Parties. (a) Each Lender Party confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender Party and each of their respective
Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or any of
their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, 

  
 84 









 
accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or
not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is

and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks
arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which
may include, in each case: 
 (i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each
other Obligor; 
 (ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and
each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document; 

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a
Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and 
 (iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document. 

SECTION 8.08. Removal of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required
Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting
Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 9.02) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld), appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date
thirty (30) Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed). 
 SECTION 8.09. No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Joint Lead Bookrunner, Joint Lead Arranger, Lead Arranger, or Syndication Agent listed

trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by any Obligor, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received
in satisfaction of or in respect of any obligation of such Obligor hereunder or under 

  
 85 









 
any other Loan Document by or on behalf of Citibank, N.A. in its capacity as the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Lender Party under any Loan Document (other than Citibank, N.A. or an
Affiliate of Citibank, N.A.) and which is applied in accordance with the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 SECTION 8.11. Treatment of Non-Extending Lender Loans. The Administrative Agent may treat any Loans and Revolving
Credit Exposure of the Non-Extending Lenders that are outstanding at any time after the Existing Commitment Termination Date as a distinct Class of Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure from any outstanding Commitments, Loans and Revolving Credit
Exposure of the Extending Lenders; provided that any such treatment is solely for administrative purposes and will not affect any Lender’s rights or obligations hereunder. 

SECTION 8.12. Collateral Agent. Each Lender Party hereby confirms the appointment of the Collateral Agent pursuant to Article 9 of
the Guarantee and Security Agreement. All rights, protections and immunities granted to the Collateral Agent in the Guarantee and Security Agreement are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth herein.

 (ii) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in clause (a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal

 86 









 
made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and
whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of
confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when
transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as provided in clause (a)(i); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II or Article VIII
shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and
(ii) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (i) and (ii) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by
any other means, the Obligors shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (iii) shall prejudice the right
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Obligor in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner. 

(b) Posting of Electronic Communications. (i) Each of the Lender Parties and each Obligor agree that the Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lender Parties by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on Debt DomainTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the
Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
 (ii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from
time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the
Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lender Parties and each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, each of the Lender Parties and each Obligor hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 

(iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND
“AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 

  
 87 









 (iv) Each of the Lender Parties and each Obligor agree that the
Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s
generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, 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 or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Amendments to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, 

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (iii) postpone the scheduled
date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (iv) change Section 2.17(b),
(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments, or making of disbursements, required thereby without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or 

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required
Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby; 
 provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lenders hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or each Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (y) the consent of Lenders holding
not less than two-thirds of the Revolving Credit Exposure, Term Loans and unused Commitments will be required (A) for any adverse change affecting the provisions of this Agreement relating to the determination of the Borrowing Base (including the
definitions used therein), or the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(ii), and (B) for any release of any material portion of the Collateral other than for fair value or as otherwise permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such
Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification. 

  
 88 









 (c) Amendments to Security Documents. No Security Document nor any provision thereof
may be waived, amended or modified, nor may the Liens thereof be spread to secure any additional obligations (including any increase in Loans hereunder, but excluding any such increase pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.08(e) to
an amount not greater than $800,000,000) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, (i) without the written
consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release
all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created under the Security
Documents (except in connection with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect to all or substantially all of the collateral security provided thereby, or release all or
substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the
Borrower) to direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, to (1) release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a
disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented (and each Lender hereby consents to and authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into, any agreement, instrument or document acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, that is necessary to terminate any Security Document that (x) exclusively covers property which is released from a Lien in accordance with the foregoing, (y) exclusively covers
property which property has become subject to the Lien of the Lenders pursuant to another Security Document acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (z) no longer covers any Collateral) and (2) release from the Guarantee and Security Agreement any
Subsidiary Guarantor (and any property of such Subsidiary Guarantor) that is designated as a Financing Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement or which ceases to be consolidated on the Borrower’s financial statements and is no longer
required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor, so long as (A) after giving effect to any such release under this clause (2) (and any concurrent acquisitions of Portfolio Investments or payment of outstanding Loans) the Covered Debt Amount does not exceed
the Borrowing Base and the Borrower delivers a certificate of a Financial Officer to such effect to the Administrative Agent, (B) either (I) the amount of any excess availability under the Borrowing Base immediately prior to such release is not
diminished as a result of such release or (II) the Borrowing Base immediately after giving effect to such release is at least 110% of the Covered Debt Amount and (C) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(d) Defaulting Lenders. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be
taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for
the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such
Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting
Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (e) Replacement
of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 9.02, the Borrower has obtained the consent of the Required Lenders
but the consent of one or more Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required for such change, waiver, discharge or termination is not obtained, then (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the
Borrower shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 

  
 89 









 
2.18(b) so long as at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. 

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger and their
Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iv) and all documented costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any
security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the reimbursement of any (i) fees, costs and
expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(d) and (ii) any fees, costs and expenses incurred in accordance with Section 5.06(b), collectively in an aggregate amount in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate
incurred for all such fees, costs and expenses in any 12-month period (the “IVP Supplemental Cap”). 
 (b)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified by the Borrower to the extent
provided in Section 2.16), including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any
Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) 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; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or (ii) a claim against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, if a final and nonappealable judgment against such Indemnitee has been obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses
or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 The Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair or
affect the Obligations of the Borrower under the preceding provisions of this subsection. 

  
 90 









 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section or to the extent that the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(d) or the fees, costs and expenses incurred in accordance with Section 5.06(b) exceed the IVP
Supplemental Cap for any 12-month period, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent), the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related
Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent, any such Issuing Bank or any such Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. 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 or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

(f) No Fiduciary Duty. Each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the
“Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Obligor agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to
create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Bank, on the one hand, and such Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that (i) the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Obligors, on the other, and (ii) in
connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the
exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Obligor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other
obligation to any Obligor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Bank is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Obligor, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.
Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process
leading thereto. Each Obligor agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Obligor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading
thereto. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), 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. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person 

  
 91 









 
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. 

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to
one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and LC Exposure at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice is delivered by the applicable Lender to the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.01(a)(ii)(i); and 

(B) the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank. 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans and LC Exposure of a Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans and LC Exposure of such 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 U.S. $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of
the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial
assignment of any Class of Commitments or Loans and LC Exposure shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Class of Commitments, Loans and
LC Exposure; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in connection with an assignment to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender

 (D) the
assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender of the applicable Class, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 
 (E) no such assignment will be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender; and

 (F) no such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust
for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person). 
 (iii) Effectiveness of
Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, 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 

  
 92 









 
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section. 
 (iv) Defaulting Lender Assignments.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make
such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and
assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders and each other Lender hereunder (and interest
accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in the applicable Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 (c) Maintenance of Registers by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Registers” and each individually, a
“Register”). The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Registers
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. 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 paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, 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 paragraph. 

(e) Special Purposes Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC
shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and such SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained, and (iv) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 (or any other
increased costs protection provision), 2.15 or 2.16. Each 

  
 93 









 
SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through
its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. 

Each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1)
year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, in respect of claims arising out of this Agreement; provided that the Granting Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and
hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any
SPC may (i) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be
construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder); provided that neither the consent of the SPC or of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers hereunder except for those amendments
or waivers for which the consent of participants is required under paragraph (f) below, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 9.13(b)) any non-public information relating to its Loans to
any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(f) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more regulated banking
institutions or insurance companies or any Affiliate of a Lender and, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to one or more other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to it); provided that (i) the consent of the Borrower
shall not be required if such Participant does not have the right to receive any non-public information that may be provided pursuant to this Agreement (and the Lender selling such participation agrees with the Borrower at the time of the sale of
such participation that it will not deliver such non-public information to the Participant), (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder.

 (g) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 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


  
 94 









 
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender and in the case of a Participant
claiming exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the applicable Lender shall provide the Borrower with satisfactory evidence that the participation is in registered form and shall permit the Borrower to
review such register as reasonably needed for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under applicable laws and regulations. 
 (h) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(i) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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 assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(j) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign
or participate any interest in its Commitments or any Loan or LC Exposure held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender. 

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement 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 making of
any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII 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 Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with


  
 95 









 
respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 SECTION 9.07.
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at
any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender may have; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.19(b) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders and the
Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by
law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the


  
 96 









 
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c)
Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement
irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.11. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign
Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified
Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency
or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the
Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”),
the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on
which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled
Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in
the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled
Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

 SECTION 9.13. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and
other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrower hereby
authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or
affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment
of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 (b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may
be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurances Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any of its respective Affiliates may be a party, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided
that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required prior to the disclosure of any Information to a potential assignee or
Participant that is not a regulated banking institution or insurance company, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives) surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection with any swap, derivative or other similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the obligations hereunder
or to the Borrower and its obligations under this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) to any rating agency when required by it, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower,
(h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications; such information to consist of deal terms and other information regarding the
credit facilities evidenced by this Agreement customarily found in such publications, (j) to a Person that is an investor or prospective investor in a Securitization (as defined below) that agrees that its access to information regarding the
Borrower and the Loans is solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in such Securitization, (k) to a Person that is a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in a Securitization in connection with the
administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization, (l) to a nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and Loan Documents in
connection with ratings issued with respect to a Securitization or (m) in connection with any pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender permitted by Section 9.04(i). For purposes of
this Section, “Securitization” means a public or private offering by a Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole
or in part, by the Loans or the Loan Documents. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of 

  
 98 









 
information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.14. USA Patriot Act. Each of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Obligors, which information includes the name and
address of the Obligors and other information that will allow it to identify the Obligors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.15. Existing Agreements. On the Effective Date and in connection with the execution of this Agreement, (i) each Lender
in its capacity, as applicable, as a “Lender” under the January 2010 Credit Agreement (each, an “Existing Revolving Lender”) hereby authorizes and directs the “Administrative Agent” under the January 2010 Credit
Agreement and (ii) each Lender in its capacity, as applicable, as a “Lender” under the Existing Term Loan Agreement (each, an “Existing Term Loan Lender”) hereby authorizes and directs the “Administrative Agent”
under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, in each case, to execute and deliver the Payoff Letter attached hereto as Exhibit F on its behalf in its respective capacity as an Existing Revolving Lender and/or as an Existing Term Loan Lender, as the case
may be. In addition, (i) each Existing Revolving Lender (constituting “Required Lenders” as defined in the January 2010 Credit Agreement) hereby authorizes and directs the “Administrative Agent” under the January 2010 Credit
Agreement to execute and deliver the Guarantee and Security Agreement and (ii) each Existing Revolving Lender and each Existing Term Loan Lender hereby acknowledges that, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and the Guarantee and Security
Agreement, the Liens securing the obligations of the Borrower under the January 2010 Credit Agreement and the Existing Term Loan Agreement, as applicable shall be of no further force and effect and that each Existing Revolving Lender and each
Existing Term Lender (each in its respective capacity as such) shall cease to constitute Secured Parties (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement). 
 SECTION 9.16. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by: 
 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities
arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in
part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into
shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be
accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
