 Section 1.11    Rates. The; Eurodollar Base Rate
Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Advances and Reference Rate Advances (when determined by reference to clause
(c) of
 the definition of Adjusted Reference Rate) loans is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which
contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to
make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the
“IBA
”)
 for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which
to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Advances and Reference Rate Advances (when determined by reference to clause
(c) of
 the definition of Adjusted Reference Rate). In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the Amendment No. 9
 Effective Date, to be underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no longer available
or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 2.03(c)(vii), such
Section 2.03(c)(vii)
 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower in advance, pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(vii),
 of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Advances and Reference Rate Advances (when determined by reference to clause
(c) of
 the definition of Adjusted Reference Rate) is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept
any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability
with respect to, (i) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of
“Eurodollar Base Rate” or with respect to any rate that is
an alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement for or successor to any such

 Section 2.01    Commitment for Advances. 

(a)    Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make
Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Commitment Termination Date; provided that, after giving effect to such Advances, each Lender’s Credit Exposure
shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment at such time. Each Borrowing shall, in the case of Borrowings consisting of Reference Rate Advances, be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess
thereof, and in the case of Borrowings consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, be in an aggregate amount not less than $2,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and in each case shall consist of Advances of the same Type
made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay, and reborrow Advances. 

(b)    Evidence of Indebtedness. The Advances made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Advances made by such Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing
with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) the
applicable Notes which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to such Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, and maturity of its
Advances and payments with respect thereto. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in the immediately preceding sentences, each Lender, Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any
Lender (other than the Issuing Lender) in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. In the event of any conflict among the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent, the accounts and records maintained by the Issuing Lender as to Letters of Credit issued by it, and the accounts and records of any other Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Issuing Lender shall
control in the absence of manifest error. 
 Section 2.02    Borrowing Base. 

(a)    Borrowing Base. The initial Borrowing Base in effect as of Closing Date has been set by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and acknowledged by the Borrower as $128,000,000. Such initial Borrowing Base shall remain in effect until the next redetermination or adjustment made pursuant to 

  
 -47- 













 
this Agreement, including, without limitation, such automatic reduction set forth in Section 2.02(d)(iii). The Borrowing Base shall be determined in accordance with the standards set forth
in Section 2.02(e) and is subject to periodic redetermination pursuant to Sections 2.02(b) and 2.02(c), and mandatory reductions pursuant to Section 2.02(d); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
in no event shall the Borrowing Base exceed $600,000,000 unless agreed to by all of the Lenders and the Intercreditor Agreement has been, or will substantially contemporaneously will be, amended to increase the First Lien Cap (as such term is
defined therein) and to make such other amendments, if any, as the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement shall agree. 

(b)    Calculation of Borrowing Base. 

(i)    The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or before each March 1st, beginning March 1, 2017, an Independent Engineering Report dated effective as of the immediately preceding January 1st, and such other
information as may be reasonably requested by any Lender with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties included or to be included in the Borrowing Base. In the normal course of business (but in any event within 30 days after the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ receipt of such Independent Engineering Report (and such additional Engineering Report, if any, required under the last sentence of subsection (iv) below) and other information), (A) the Administrative Agent
shall deliver to each Lender the Administrative Agent’s recommendation for the redetermined Borrowing Base,
including whether the Blocker Period should be lifted,
(B) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with
Section 2.02(e) and the Required Lenders shall determine whether the Blocker Period should be
lifted, and (C) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined.
and whether the Blocker Period has been lifted; provided that if such writing does not state that a Blocker
Period has been lifted then a Blocker Period is deemed to be in effect with such redetermination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Minimum Hedge Condition has been satisfied, then the Borrowing Base redetermination scheduled for the Spring of
2021 under the foregoing provisions of this clause (i) shall not be required. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the Minimum Hedge Condition has been
satisfied, the Borrower shall deliver the Independent Engineering Report dated effective as of
January 1,
 2021 as required in the first sentence of this clause (i). 

(ii)     The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on or before each September 1st,
beginning September 1, 2017, an Internal Engineering Report or an Independent Engineering Report dated effective as of the immediately preceding July 1st and, in each instance, such other information as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties included or to be included in the Borrowing Base. In the normal course of business (but in any event within 30 days after the Administrative Agent’s and the
Lenders’ receipt of such Internal Engineering Report or Internal Engineering Report (and such additional Engineering Report, if any, required under the last sentence of subsection (iv) below) and other information), (A) the Administrative Agent
shall deliver to each Lender the Administrative Agent’s recommendation for the redetermined Borrowing Base and
whether the Blocker Period should be lifted, (B) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.02(e)
and the Required Lenders shall determine whether the Blocker Period should be lifted, and (C) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the amount of the Borrowing Base as so
redetermined
and whether the Blocker Period has been lifted; provided that if such writing does not state that a Blocker
Period has been lifted then a Blocker Period is deemed to be in effect with such redetermination. 

(iii)    In the event that the Borrower does not furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Independent
Engineering Report, Internal Engineering Report or other information specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above by the date specified therein (or such additional Engineering Report, 

  
 -48- 













 
if any, required under the last sentence of subsection (iv) below), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may nonetheless redetermine the Borrowing Base and redesignate the Borrowing Base
from time-to-time thereafter in their sole discretion (but subject to Section 2.02(e)) until the Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive the relevant
Independent Engineering Report, Internal Engineering Report, or other information, as applicable, at which time the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base as otherwise specified in this Section 2.02. 

(iv)    Each delivery of an Engineering Report (including, without limitation, the initial Engineering Report delivered
pursuant to Section 3.01) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (A) the Borrower and the Guarantors, as
applicable, own the Oil and Gas Properties specified therein subject to an Acceptable Security Interest to the extent required hereunder (other than any thereof that have been Disposed of since the date of such Engineering Report in a Disposition
permitted by this Agreement and noted to the Administrative Agent under the certificate required under Section 5.06(e)(iv)(C)) and free and clear of any Liens (except Permitted Liens), (B) on and as of the date of such Engineering Report each
Oil and Gas Property identified as PDP Reserves therein was developed for oil and gas, and the wells pertaining to such Oil and Gas Properties that are described therein as producing wells (“Wells”), were each producing oil and/or
gas in paying quantities, except for Wells that were utilized as water or gas injection wells, carbon dioxide wells or as water disposal wells (each as noted in such Engineering Report) or wells that were shut in for maintenance, repair or offset
drilling activity (each as noted in such Engineering Report), (C) the descriptions of the nature of the record title interests of the Borrower and the Guarantors, as applicable, set forth in such Engineering Report are complete and accurate in all
respects, and take into account all Permitted Liens, (D) there are no “back-in” or “reversionary” interests held by third parties which could reduce the interests of the Borrower or
any of the Guarantors in such Oil and Gas Properties except as set forth in Engineering Report, (E) no operating or other agreement to which the Borrower or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Borrower or any of the Guarantors is
bound affecting any part of such Oil and Gas Properties requires the Borrower or any of the Guarantors to bear any of the costs relating to such Oil and Gas Properties greater than the record title interest of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors
in such portion of the such Oil and Gas Properties as set forth in such Engineering Report, except in the event the Borrower or any of the Guarantors is obligated under an operating agreement to assume a portion of a defaulting party’s share of
costs, and (F) the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ ownership of the Hydrocarbons and the undivided interests in the Oil and Gas Properties as specified in such Engineering Report (i) will, after giving full effect to all Permitted
Liens, afford the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor not less than those net interests (expressed as a fraction, percentage or decimal) in the production from or which is allocated to such Hydrocarbons specified as net revenue interest in such
Engineering Report and (ii) will cause the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor to bear not more than that portion (expressed as a fraction, percentage or decimal), specified as working interest in such Engineering Report, of the costs of
drilling, developing and operating the wells identified in such Engineering Report or identified in the exhibits to the Mortgages encumbering such Oil and Gas Properties (except for any increases in working interest with a corresponding increase in
the net revenue interest in such Oil and Gas Property) other than any discrepancy disclosed by the Borrower or such Guarantor in writing to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the delivery of such Engineering Report. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent is notified of such discrepancy, then the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within 10 days after such original Engineering Report was required to be delivered or such longer period as the
Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) deliver an updated Internal Engineering Report (or an Independent Engineering Report if the original Engineering Report was required to be an Independent Engineering Report) taking into account
such discrepancy. 
 (c)    Interim Redeterminations. In addition to the scheduled Borrowing Base
redeterminations provided for in Section 2.02(b), the Borrowing Base may be further redetermined by the Lenders as follows, 

  
 -49- 













 
in each case, based on such information as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders deem relevant (but in accordance with Section 2.02(e)): 

(i)    
after the Spring 2021 BBRD Effective Date, the Administrative Agent
may, and shall at the request of the Required Lenders, make a redetermination of the Borrowing Base during any six-month period between scheduled redeterminations; provided that, if the Minimum Hedge Condition has been satisfied, then no interim redetermination of the Borrowing Base may
be made under this clause (i) until after the Fall 2021 BBRD Effective Date; 

(ii)    the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, make a redetermination of the Borrowing Base
during any six-month period between scheduled redeterminations; and 

(iii)    the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, in connection with any acquisition of Oil and
Gas Properties (whether completed in one transaction or a series of transaction) having a purchase price in excess of the greater of (x) 5% of the then current Borrowing Base and (y) $10,000,000, make a redetermination of the Borrowing Base. 

For the avoidance of doubt, such additional redeterminations of the Borrowing Base shall not constitute nor be construed as a consent to any transaction or
proposed transaction that would not be permitted under the terms of this Agreement. The party requesting the redetermination under this paragraph (c) shall give the other party at least 10 days’ prior written notice that a redetermination
of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this paragraph (c) is to be performed (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree to in their sole discretion); provided that, no such prior written notice shall be
required for any redetermination made by the Lenders during the existence of a Default. In connection with any redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this Section 2.02(c), the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
with such information regarding the Borrower and the Guarantors’ business (including, without limitation, its Oil and Gas Properties, Oil and Gas Related Properties, the Proven Reserves, and production relating thereto) as the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may reasonably request; provided that, in the case of requests for an increase to the Borrowing Base of an amount in excess of (x) 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect and (y) $10,000,000, the request of an updated
Independent Engineering Report is deemed to be reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of each redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) and, the amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined and whether the Blocker Period has been lifted; provided that if such writing does not state that a Blocker Period has been
lifted then a Blocker Period is deemed to be in effect with such redetermination. 

(d)    Mandatory Reductions. 

(i)    If any Trigger Event has the effect of causing the sum of (A) the BB Value of all Dispositions of Oil and Gas
Properties made since the date of the most recent scheduled Borrowing Base redetermination (including such Trigger Event), (B) the BB Value of all Dispositions of Oil and Gas Related Properties made since the date of the most recent scheduled
Borrowing Base redetermination (including such Trigger Event), (C) the BB Value of BB Hedges which have been novated, assigned, unwound, terminated, expired or amended since the date of the most recent scheduled Borrowing Base redetermination
(including such Trigger Event), and (D) the BB Value attributed to Oil and Gas Properties subject to title defects not cured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.11 within the 60-day period permitted under Section 5.11 (including such Trigger Event), to exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, then effective as of the applicable Trigger Event Date, the Borrowing Base shall be
automatically reduced by the BB Value of the Oil and Gas Properties, Oil and Gas Related Properties, and BB Hedges, as applicable, that are covered by such Trigger Event as determined by the 

  
 -50- 













 
Administrative Agent. If any notice event is triggered under Section 6.01(g) as to any Lien, then effective as of the date such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowing
Base shall be automatically reduced by the BB Value attributed to such Lien. For the avoidance of doubt, the mandatory reduction in the Borrowing Base required under this clause (i) shall not constitute nor be construed as a consent to any
transaction or proposed transaction that would not be permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (ii)    Effective
immediately as of the date of incurrence of any Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness (other than Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness issued pursuant to an Exchange Offer), unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, the Borrowing Base shall
automatically reduce on such date by an amount equal to 25% of (A) the principal amount of such Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness (without giving effect to any original issue discount) minus (B) the sum of (1) to the extent
such Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness constitutes a refinancing of Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.21, the principal amount of Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness being refinanced thereby and (2) the aggregate
principal amount of Second Lien Debt repaid with the proceeds of such Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness, and such reduced Borrowing Base shall remain in effect until the date the Borrowing Base is otherwise redetermined or adjusted pursuant to this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the mandatory reduction in the Borrowing Base required under this clause (ii) shall not constitute nor be construed as a consent to any transaction or proposed transaction that would not be permitted under
the terms of this Agreement. 
 (iii)    Unless the reduction set forth in this clause (iii) is waived by the
Required Lenders, the Borrowing Base shall automatically reduce on July 1, 2020 by an amount equal to $25,000,000. The Borrowing Base, as reduced pursuant to this Section 2.02(d)(iii) shall remain in effect at such applicable amount until
the effective date of any subsequent Borrowing Base redetermination or adjustment made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(e)    Standards for Redetermination. Each redetermination of the Borrowing Base by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be made (i) in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (but in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.02(e)), (ii) in accordance with the
Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ customary internal standards and practices for valuing and redetermining the value of Oil and Gas Properties in connection with reserve based oil and gas loan transactions, (iii) in conjunction
with the most recent Independent Engineering Report or Internal Engineering Report, as applicable, or other information received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the Proven Reserves of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and
(iv) based upon the estimated value of the Proven Reserves owned by the Borrower and the Guarantors as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In valuing and redetermining the Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may also consider the business, financial condition, and Indebtedness obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors and such other factors as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders customarily deem appropriate, including without
limitation, commodity price assumptions, projections of production, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, capital costs, working capital requirements, liquidity evaluations, dividend payments, environmental costs, and legal costs.
In that regard, the Borrower acknowledges that the determination of the Borrowing Base contains a value cushion (market value in excess of loan value), which is essential for the adequate protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.08(a), to the extent a Proven Reserve is not encumbered by an Acceptable Security Interest, such Proven Reserve shall not be included or considered for inclusion in the Borrowing Base to the extent an
Acceptable Security Interest thereon would be necessary to cause the Administrative Agent to have an Acceptable Security Interest in (x) at least 90% (by value) or, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, 95% (by value) of the
Proven Reserves and the Oil and Gas Properties relating thereto, (y) 90% (by value) or, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, 95% (by value) of the Loan Parties’ other Oil and Gas


  
 -51- 













 
Properties, and (z) 100% (by value) of the Original Mortgaged Properties (other than such Original Mortgaged Properties which are Disposed of as permitted under Section 6.04(c)). At all
times after the Administrative Agent has given the Borrower notification of a redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this Section 2.02, the Borrowing Base shall be equal to the redetermined amount or such lesser amount designated by the
Borrower and disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Borrowing Base is subsequently redetermined in accordance with this Section 2.02; provided that the Borrower shall not request that the Borrowing
Base be reduced to a level that would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency (without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) to the extent the redetermined Borrowing Base is
less than or equal to the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such redetermination, such redetermined Borrowing Base must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, and (y) to the extent the redetermined Borrowing Base is
greater than the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such redetermination, such redetermined Borrowing Base must be approved by the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders. 

Section 2.03    Method of Borrowing. 

(a)    Notice. Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing given by Borrower to
Administrative Agent not later than (i) in the case of the Borrowings to be made on the Closing Date (y) 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the second Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate
Advance or (z) 10:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Reference Rate Advance or (ii) in the case of all Borrowings to be made after the Closing Date, (y) 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time)
on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance or (z) 10:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Reference Rate Advance, which shall
give to each Lender prompt notice of such proposed Borrowing, by facsimile or by electronic mail. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be by facsimile or by electronic mail (with a PDF file of the executed Notice of Borrowing attached), specifying
(i) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the requested Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be comprised of
Eurodollar Rate Advances, the requested Interest Period for each such Advance; provided that, all Borrowings to be made on the Closing Date shall consist only of Reference Rate Advance (which may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, be
thereafter Converted into Eurodollar Rate Advances) unless a breakfunding agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent has been executed by the Borrower concurrent with the delivery of such Notice of Borrowing. In the case of a
proposed Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.09(b). Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (Houston, Texas time) on the date
of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.09, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the Lenders,
in same day funds, such Lender’s pro rata share of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such
funds available to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent or as otherwise directed by the Borrower with written notice to the Administrative Agent. 

(b)    Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or continue an Advance under this paragraph, the
Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office no later than 10:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) (i) on the Business Day of the proposed Conversion
date in the case of a Conversion to a Reference Rate Advance and (ii) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each
such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by facsimile or by electronic mail (with a PDF file of the 

  
 -52- 













 
executed Notice of Conversion or Continuation attached), specifying (i) the requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and Type of the Advance
to be Converted or continued, (iii) whether a Conversion or continuation is requested and, if a Conversion, into what Type of Advance, and (iv) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the requested
Interest Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate
Advance, notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.09(b). The portion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing that are Converted to Advances of another Type shall constitute a new Borrowing. 

(c)    Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraphs (a) and
(b) above: 
 (i)    at no time shall there be more than eight Interest Periods applicable to outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Advances; 
 (ii)    if any Lender shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested
Borrowing, Conversion, or continuation, notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of any Legal Requirement after the date hereof, or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement as in effect on the date hereof, makes
it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Advances, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances from such Lender shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and
the Advance made by such Lender in respect of such Borrowing, Conversion, or continuation shall be a Reference Rate Advance; 

(iii)    subject to clause (vii) below, if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar Rate for
Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Reference Rate Advance; 

(iv)    subject to clause (vii) below, if the Majority Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of
any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or funding their respective Eurodollar Rate
Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Reference Rate Advance; 

(v)    if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate
Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and paragraph (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such
Advances shall be made available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one month or, if an existing Advance, Convert into Reference Rate Advances; 

  
 -53- 













 (vi)    no Borrowing may be made as, continued as or Converted into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances at any time that a Default has occurred and is continuing; and 
 (vii)    Effect of
Benchmark Transition Event. 
 (A)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
Loan Document, upon the occurrence of (and any Hedge Contract shall be deemed not to be a “Loan
 Document” for
 purposes of this
Section 2.03(c)(vii))
 if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable,
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Base Rate with a Replacement Rate. Any such amendment with respect
to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Houston, Texasand its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then
(x) if
 a Replacement Rate is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the definition of
“Replacement
 Rate” for
 such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Replacement Rate will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Replacement Rate is determined in accordance with clause (a)(3) of the definition of “Replacement
 Rate” for
 such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Replacement Rate will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent
has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowerdate notice of such Replacement Rate
is provided to the Lenders (with a copy provided to the Borrower) without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as
the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendmentReplacement Rate from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the
Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Eurodollar Base Rate with a Replacement Rate pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(vii) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition
Start Date.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Term
SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Replacement Rate will replace the then-current Benchmark for all
purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided
that this clause
(B) shall
 not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition
Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion. 

(B)    In connection with the implementation of a Replacement Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the
right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. 
 (C)    The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(vii),
including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any
action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party heretoto this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as
expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(vii). 
 (D)    Notwithstanding
 anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Replacement Rate), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either
(1) any
 tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the
 regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may
modify the definition of “Interest
Period” for
 any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and
(B) if
 a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either
(1) is
 subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Replacement Rate) or
(2) is
 not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Replacement Rate), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
 Period” for
 all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

(E)
    (D) Upon the
Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Rate Advance of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made, converted or
continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to a Reference Rate
AdvanceAdvances
. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time
that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Adjusted Reference Rate based upon the Eurodollar Base
Ratethen-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Adjusted Reference Rate. 
 (E) The Replacement Rate shall replace the Eurodollar Base Rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (1) an event described in Section
2.03(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv) or a Benchmark Transition Event occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (2) the Administrative Agent (or the Majority Lenders through the
Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Advances bearing interest at the Replacement Rate, at which time the right of the Borrower to select
Advances bearing interest at the Replacement Rate for any Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance bearing
interest at the Replacement Rate shall be Converted to a Reference Rate Advance.

 (d)    Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice
of Continuation or Conversion delivered by the Borrower hereunder, including its deemed request for borrowing made hereunder, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 

(e)    Funding by Lenders; Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender before the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its Pro Rata
Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(a), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to immediately repay to the Administrative
Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
the Borrower, the interest rate applicable on such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the lesser of (A) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) the Maximum Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid
shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing. 

(f)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, 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 Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the lesser of (i) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) the Maximum Rate. 

Section 2.04    Termination and Reduction of the Commitments; Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 

(a)    Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. If at any time the
aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts or the Borrowing Base is terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction. 

(b)    The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice (provided
that, as to a notice of the termination in whole of the Maximum Credit Amounts, such notice 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) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; provided that
(i) each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the 

  
 -56- 













 
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Advances in accordance with Section 2.05(f), the total
Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (c)    Any reduction and termination of the Commitments and
Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably to each Lender’s Commitment and Maximum Credit Amount and shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Lenders to reinstate such Commitments or Maximum Credit
Amounts. 
 Section 2.05    Prepayment of Advances. 

(a)    Optional. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as provided
in this Section 2.05(a) and all notices given pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower (provided that any such notice as to the repayment in full of all outstanding Advances 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). Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be made in a manner such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part other than Advances owing to a Defaulting
Lender as provided in Section 2.16. The Borrower may prepay the Advances, after giving by 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time), (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, at least three Business Days’ or (ii) in the case of
Reference Rate Advances, same Business Day irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances
in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to
be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date and without payment of any other premium or penalty; provided, however, that each partial prepayment with respect to: (A) any amounts prepaid in
respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be applied to Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing; (B) any prepayments made in respect of Reference Rate Advances shall be made in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (C) any prepayments made in respect of any Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be made in an aggregate principal amount of at least $2,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$500,000 in excess thereof. Full prepayments of any Borrowing are permitted without restriction of amounts. 

(b)    Borrowing Base Deficiency. 

(i)    Other than as provided in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) below, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the
Borrower shall, after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such deficiency, take any of the following actions (and the failure of the Borrower to take such actions to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall
constitute an election of clause (C) below): 
 (A)    prepay Advances or, if the Advances have been
repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within 30 days after the date such deficiency notice is received by the
Borrower from the Administrative Agent; 
 (B)    (i) deliver, within 10 days after the date such
deficiency notice is received by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent, written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating the Borrower’s election to pledge as Collateral for the Secured Obligations additional Oil and Gas Properties
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders such that the 

  
 -57- 













 
Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within 30 days after the date such deficiency notice is received by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent and (ii) provide such pledge of additional
Oil and Gas Properties within such time period; 
 (C)    (i) deliver, within 10 days after the date such
deficiency notice is received by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent, written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating the Borrower’s election to repay the Advances and make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash
collateral for the Letters of Credit, each in five monthly installments equal to one-fifth of such Borrowing Base Deficiency with the first such installment due 30 days after the date such deficiency notice is
received by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as agreed to between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and each following installment due 30 days after the preceding installment and (ii) make such payments
and deposits within such time periods; or 
 (D)    (i) deliver, within 10 days after the date such
deficiency notice is received by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent, written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating the Borrower’s election to combine the options provided in clause (B) and clause (C) above, and also
indicating the amount to be prepaid in installments and the amount to be provided as additional Collateral, and (ii) make such three equal consecutive monthly installments and deliver such additional Collateral within the time required under
clause (B) and clause (C) above. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, (x) unless the Borrower delivers the requisite written notice to the
Administrative Agent of its election under clause (B), (C) or (D) above, the Borrower is deemed to have elected to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in clause (C) above, (y) if a scheduled Borrowing Base redetermination, a
Borrowing Base redetermination allowed under Section 2.02(c), or a Borrowing Base redetermination on account of title defects in connection with the Oil and Gas Properties given BB Value (each, an “Additional Trigger”) occurs
during the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency and an incremental Borrowing Base Deficiency amount results as a result of such Additional Trigger, then the Borrower shall remedy such incremental Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to the terms
of this Section 2.05(b)(i), including, if selected by the Borrower, with additional three monthly installments as to such incremental amount, and (z) in any event, all outstanding Advances shall be paid in full on the Commitment
Termination Date and all Letter of Credit Exposure shall be Cash Collateralized in the Minimum Collateral Amount on the Commitment Termination Date. 

(ii)    If, during the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, any Loan Party (or the Administrative Agent as loss
payee or assignee) receives Extraordinary Cash Proceeds, whether as one payment or a series of payments, then the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after receipt of such proceeds, prepay the Borrowings and Cash Collateralize the Letter of
Credit Exposure, in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Borrowing Base Deficiency and (ii) 100% of such proceeds. 

(iii)    If the Borrowing Base is reduced under Section 2.02(d)(i) and such reduction results in a Borrowing Base
Deficiency, then the Borrower shall (A) with respect to a Disposition, prepay Advances or, if the Advances have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure,
such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within one Business Day after the date the proceeds of such Disposition are received, (B) with respect to a Hedge Event, prepay Advances or, if the Advances have been repaid in full, make
deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured on the Business Day the proceeds of such Hedge Event are received, and (C) with respect to
a reduction in the Borrowing Base as a result of a notice event triggered under Section 6.01(g), prepay Advances or, if the Advances have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for the
Letter of Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency on account thereof is cured within one Business Day after such reduction in the Borrowing Base. 

  
 -58- 













 (iv)    If the Borrowing Base is reduced under Section 2.02(d)(ii)
and such reduction results in a Borrowing Base Deficiency, then the Borrower shall, immediately upon the effectiveness of such reduction, prepay Advances or, if the Advances have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to
provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, in an amount equal to (1) such portion of the Borrowing Base Deficiency resulting from such reduction plus (2) if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists prior to such reduction,
then an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the proceeds of such Senior Unsecured Note Indebtedness and (ii) such portion of the Borrowing Base Deficiency in existence immediately prior to such reduction. 

(v)    If a Disposition of Oil and Gas Properties or Oil and Gas Related Properties or a Hedge Event occurs during the
period when a Borrowing Base Deficiency already exists, then in addition to the requirement to repay the Advances and make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for the Letters of Credit to cure any Borrowing Base
Deficiency occurring as a result thereof (as provided in clause (iii) above), the Borrower shall apply any remaining proceeds resulting from such Disposition or Hedge Event on the date such proceeds are received as prepayments of all unpaid
monthly installments or payments required under this Section 2.05(b), applied pro rata to such payments. 

(vi)    If the Borrowing Base is reduced under Section 2.02(d)(iii) and such reduction results in a Borrowing Base
Deficiency, then the Borrower shall, immediately upon the effectiveness of such reduction, prepay Advances or, if the Advances have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for the Letter of
Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured. 
 (vii)    Each prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the Advances as determined by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Lenders in their sole discretion. 

(c)    Mandatory Prepayments from Asset Events. Unless the requirements set forth in this clause (c) are
waived by the Majority Lenders, if any Loan Party receives Net Cash Proceeds (as such term is defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement (but without giving effect to any deduction in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds as a result of any payment required under this
Section 2.05(c)), then the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Advances in an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (but without giving effect to any deduction in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds as a result of any payment required under this
Section 2.05(c)) on each date on which any Loan Party is required to prepay the Advances (as such term is defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement), or any other amount required to be prepaid under the Second Lien Loan
Documents in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds (collectively, the “Second Lien Prepayments”) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Second Lien Prepayment which would have been required but for the payments required
under this Section 2.05(c)) but in any event prior to making any such Second Lien Prepayment on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Advances under this Section 2.05(c) with
respect to any Second Lien Prepayment if each lender party to the Second Lien Credit Agreement has refused to accept such Second Lien Prepayment pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(iii) of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall not result in a waiver of any Event of Default then existing, including any Event of Default resulting from any Disposition not
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 9.03. 

  
 -59- 













 (d)    Mandatory Prepayment after Change in Control. Unless the
requirements set forth in this clause (d) are waived by the Majority Lenders, then no later than ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) all (and not less than
all) outstanding Advances and shall Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure. For the avoidance of doubt, receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) shall not result in a
waiver of any Event of Default then existing, including any Event of Default resulting from such Change in Control, unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 9.03. 

(e)    Mandatory Prepayment for Availability Reduction. Commencing October 1, 2020 until the Fall 2020 BBRD Effective
Date,If a Blocker Period is in effect and unless
the requirements set forth in this clause (e) are otherwise waived by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the Advances or, if the Advances have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash
collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, such that Availability is not less than $25,000,000 at any time
during such Blocker Period. For the avoidance of doubt, receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) shall not result in a waiver
of any Event of Default then existing, including any Event of Default resulting from a misrepresentation that the condition in Section 3.02(e) had been met, unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 9.03. 

(f)    Reduction of Maximum Credit Amounts. On the date of each reduction of the aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts
pursuant to Section 2.04, the Borrower agrees to make a prepayment in respect of the outstanding amount of the Advances, and if the Advances have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide cash collateral for
the Letter of Credit Exposure, such that, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances plus the Letter of Credit Exposure that has not been Cash Collateralized does not exceed the aggregate Commitments, as so reduced. Each prepayment
pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment
being made on such date. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(f) shall be applied first to Reference Rate Advances and then to Eurodollar Rate Advances. 

(g)    Excess Cash. If, at any time when Credit Exposure is greater than zero, the Consolidated Cash Balance
exceeds the Consolidated Cash Balance Limit as of the end of the last Business Day of any calendar week, then the Borrower shall, on the immediately following Consolidated Cash Sweep Date, prepay the Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal
to such excess, and, if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Advances as a result of the Letter of Credit Exposure, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure in an amount equal to such excess. Each prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.05(g) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(g) shall be applied first to Reference Rate Advances and then to Eurodollar
Rate Advances. The requirements set forth in this clause (g) may be waived by the Required Lenders. 

(h)    Ratable Prepayment. Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be made in a manner
such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part. 
 (i)    Interest
 and Costs. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and
amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date. 

 Section 2.06    Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Maturity Date or such earlier date pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03.

(a)    Commitment for Letters of Credit. The Issuing Lender, the Lenders, Holdings, and the Borrower each agrees
that effective as of the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued and maintained under, and to be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.    Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
Commitment Termination Date, to issue, increase or extend the Expiration Date of Letters of Credit for the account of any Loan Party, provided that no Letter of Credit will be issued, increased, or extended: 

(i)    if such issuance, increase, or extension would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (A)
$25,000,000 and (B) an amount equal to (1) the Commitments in effect at such time minus (2) the sum of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Advances; 

(ii)    unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the earlier of (A) 12 months after its
issuance or extension and (B) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (an “Acceptable Letter of Credit Maturity Date”); provided that, (1) if the Commitments are terminated in whole pursuant to
Section 2.04, the Borrower shall either (A) deposit into the Cash Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount for the Letters of Credit which have an expiry date beyond the date the Commitments are
terminated or (B) provide a replacement letter of credit (or other security) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount, and (2) any such Letter of Credit
with a one-year tenor may expressly provide for an automatic extension of one additional year so long as such Letter of Credit expressly allows the Issuing Lender, at its sole discretion, to elect not to
provide such extension within the time periods agreed to in the applicable Letter of Credit; provided that, in any event, such automatic extension may not result in an Expiration Date that occurs after the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity
Date; 
 (iii)    unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit not supporting the repayment of
indebtedness for borrowed money of any Person; 
 (iv)    unless such Letter of Credit is in form and substance
acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion exercised in good faith; 
 (v)    unless the Borrower has
delivered to the Issuing Lender a completed and executed Letter of Credit Application; 
 (vi)    unless such Letter of
Credit is governed by (A) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, or (B) the International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of
Commerce Publication No. 590, in either case, including any subsequent revisions thereof approved by a Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce and adhered to by the Issuing Lender; 

(vii)    if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to
enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing, increasing or extending such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, increase or extension of 

  
 -61- 













 
letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which the Issuing
Lender in good faith deems material to it; 
 (viii)    if the issuance, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit
would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (ix)    if
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 
 (x)    if such Letter of Credit supports the
obligations of any Person in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract if the Issuing Lender reasonably determines that the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse any draws under such Letter of Credit may be
limited; or 
 (xi)    any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such Defaulting Lender’s
Fronting Exposure as to Letters of Credit has been fully reallocated or Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.16 below or the Issuing Lender has entered into other satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the
Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender. 
 (b)    Requesting Letters of Credit. Each Letter of
Credit (other than the issuance of Existing Letters of Credit which are deemed issued hereunder) shall be issued, increased or extended pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender by facsimile, electronic mail or other writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the third Business Day before the proposed date of issuance, increase or extension for the Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Application
shall be fully completed and shall specify the information required therein. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall before 2:00 p.m.
(Houston, Texas time) on the date of such Letter of Credit Application issue, increase or extend such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. 

(c)    Reimbursements for Letters of Credit; Funding of Participations. 

(i)    With respect to any Letter of Credit, in accordance with the related Letter of Credit Application, the Borrower
agrees to pay on the Business Day the Borrower receives notice of such drawing from the Issuing Bank if such notice is received by the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) or, if such notice is received after 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas
time), then on the Business Day following such notice to the Administrative Agent (the applicable date, the “LC Payment Date”) on behalf of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to any amount paid by the Issuing Lender under such
Letter of Credit. Upon the Issuing Lender’s demand for payment under the terms of a Letter of Credit Application, the Borrower may, with a written notice, request that the Borrower’s obligations to the Issuing Lender thereunder be
satisfied with the proceeds of an Advance in the same amount (notwithstanding any minimum size or increment limitations on individual Advances). If the Borrower does not make such request and does not otherwise make the payments demanded by the
Issuing Lender as required under this Agreement or the Letter of Credit Application, then the Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have requested such an Advance in the same amount and the transfer of the proceeds thereof
to satisfy the Borrower’s obligations to the Issuing Lender, and the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Lenders to make such Advance, to transfer the proceeds thereof to the Issuing Lender in
satisfaction of such obligations, and to record and otherwise treat such payments as an Advance to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may record and otherwise treat the making of such Borrowings as the making of a Borrowing to
the Borrower under this Agreement as if 

  
 -62- 













 
requested by the Borrower. Nothing herein is intended to release any of the Borrower’s obligations under any Letter of Credit Application, but only to provide an additional method of payment
therefor. The making of any Borrowing under this Section 2.07(c) shall not constitute a cure or waiver of any Default, other than the payment Default which is satisfied by the application of the amounts deemed advanced hereunder, caused by the
Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or the Letter of Credit Application. 

(ii)    Each Lender (including the Lender acting as Issuing Lender) shall, upon notice from the Administrative Agent that
the Borrower has requested or is deemed to have requested an Advance pursuant to Section 2.03 and regardless of whether (A) the conditions in Section 3.02 have been met, (B) such notice complies with Section 2.03, or
(C) a Default exists, make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Advance not later than 1:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on
the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent if such notice is sent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on such day (or not later than 1:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the immediately following Business Day if
such notice is sent later than 10:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time)), whereupon each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received
to the Issuing Lender. 
 (iii)    Until all the Lenders shall have made their respective Advances available to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.07 or the Borrower has otherwise made a payment to the Issuing Lender of all unpaid Letter of Credit Obligations, (x) the unpaid Letter of Credit Obligations then due from the Borrower (but
in any case, only after the LC Payment Date) shall bear interest at the lesser of (A) the Default Rate and (B) the Maximum Rate for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is made and such
interest shall be payable as provided in Section 2.09(c) and (y) to the extent the Borrower has not paid such interest or is not required to pay such interest, then each Lender that has not made the Advances available to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) agrees to pay interest on the amount that such Lender was required to make hereunder from such date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender (either by such Lender or by
the Borrower) at the lesser of (A) the Federal Funds Rate for such day for the first three days and thereafter the interest rate applicable to the Advance and (B) the Maximum Rate. Whenever, at any time after the Administrative Agent has
received from any Lender such Lender’s Advance, the Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will pay to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s Advance was outstanding and funded), which payment shall be subject to repayment by such Lender if such payment received by the Administrative Agent is required to be
returned. Each Lender’s obligation to make the Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default
or the termination of the Commitments; (3) any breach of this Agreement by Holdings, any Loan Party or any other Lender; or (4) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

(iv)    If at any time, the Commitments shall have expired or shall have been terminated while any Letter of Credit
Exposure is outstanding, each Lender, at the sole option of the Issuing Lender, shall fund its participation in such Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unpaid amount of the Borrower’s payment
obligations under drawn Letters of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, and in turn, the Administrative Agent shall notify each such Lender of the amount of such participation, and such Lender will transfer to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on the next Business Day following such notice, in immediately available 

  
 -63- 













 
funds, the amount of such participation. At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender funding of its participation in
respect of such payment in accordance with this clause (iv), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Letter of Credit Exposure or interest thereon (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative
Agent. 
 (d)    Participations. Upon the date of the issuance or increase of a Letter of Credit or the deemed
issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit under Section 2.07(a), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each other Lender and each other Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in the
related Letter of Credit Obligations equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each such participant
Lender by facsimile, telephone, or electronic mail (PDF) of each Letter of Credit issued or increased and the actual dollar amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. 

(e)    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of
Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances: 

(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents; 

(ii)    any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit Documents; 

(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Holdings or any Loan Party or Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee
of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated in
this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iv)    any statement or
any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the Issuing Lender would not be liable
therefor pursuant to the following paragraph (g); 
 (v)    payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; 

provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph (e) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any remedies of the Borrower in
connection with the Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, those remedies specified in paragraph (g) below. 

(f)    Prepayments of Letters of Credit. In the event that any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or shall be
drawn and not reimbursed on or prior to the Acceptable Letter of Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount allocable to such Letter of Credit, such amount to be due and
payable on the Acceptable Letter of Credit Maturity Date, and to be held in the Cash Collateral Account and applied in accordance with paragraph (h) below. 

  
 -64- 













 (g)    Liability of Issuing Lender. The Borrower assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: 

(i)    the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in
connection therewith; 
 (ii)    the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon,
even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; 

(iii)    payment by the Issuing Lender against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter
of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or 

(iv)    any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit
(INCLUDING THE ISSUING LENDER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE), 
 except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the
Issuing Lender shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary. 
 (h)    Cash Collateral Account. 

(i)    If the Borrower is required to deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Sections 2.04(d), 2.05(b),
2.05(d), 7.02(b), 7.03(b) or any other provision under this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall establish the Cash Collateral Account and the Borrower shall execute any documents and agreements, including the
Administrative Agent’s standard form assignment of Deposit Accounts, that the Administrative Agent requests in connection therewith to establish the Cash Collateral Account and grant the Administrative Agent a first priority (subject to
inchoate tax liens), perfected Lien in such account and the funds therein. The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Cash Collateral Account, whenever established, all
funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time, and all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of the Secured Obligations. The Borrower hereby agrees to maintain a first priority (subject to inchoate tax liens) security interest
in all the Cash Collateral Account and such Cash Collateral as security for the Secured Obligations and as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Exposure, to be applied pursuant to
Section 2.07(i)(ii) below. 
 (ii)    Funds held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be held as cash collateral
for obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and promptly applied by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Issuing Lender to any reimbursement or other obligations under Letters of Credit that exist or occur.


  
 -65- 













 
To the extent that any surplus funds are held in the Cash Collateral Account above the Letter of Credit Exposure during the existence of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent may
(A) hold such surplus funds in the Cash Collateral Account as cash collateral for the Obligations or (B) apply such surplus funds to any Obligations in any manner directed by the Majority Lenders. If no Default exists, then at the
Borrower’s written request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly release any surplus funds held in the Cash Collateral Account above the Minimum Collateral Amount so long as the release thereof would not result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency
(without giving effect to the proviso set forth in the definition thereof). 
 (iii)    Funds held in the Cash
Collateral Account may be invested in Liquid Investments maintained with, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent or in another investment if mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, but the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any investment of the funds therein. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be deemed
to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking
any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any such funds. 
 (i)    Defaulting
Lender. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.16 and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum
Collateral Amount. 
 (i)    Grant of Security Interest by Defaulting Lender; Agreement to Provide Cash
Collateral. To the extent cash collateral is provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest
in all such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below.    Such Defaulting Lender
shall execute any documents and agreements, including the Administrative Agent’s standard form assignment of Deposit Accounts, that the Administrative Agent requests in connection therewith to establish such cash collateral account and to grant
the Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in such account and the funds therein. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative
Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(ii)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral
provided under this Section 2.07(i) or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Exposure (including,
as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(iii)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the
Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.07(i) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of
Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination 

  
 -66- 













 
by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.16, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the
Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash
Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 (iv)    Letters
of Credit Issued for Guarantors or any Subsidiary. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit issued hereunder by the Issuing Lender. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any
Guarantor, the Borrower or any Subsidiary inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business (indirectly or directly) derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Persons. 

Section 2.08    Fees. 

(a)    Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee at a per annum rate equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount by which (i) such Lender’s Commitment then in effect exceeds (ii) the sum of such Lender’s outstanding Advances plus such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Exposure, from the Closing Date until the Commitment Termination Date; provided that, no commitment fee shall accrue on the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period such Lender remains a
Defaulting Lender. The commitment fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December commencing on September 30, 2016, and continuing thereafter through and including the Commitment
Termination Date. 
 (b)    Letter of Credit Fees. 

(i)    Subject to Section 2.16, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of
the Lenders, a per annum letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued hereunder in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Advances times the face amount of such Letter of Credit, during the period such
Letter of Credit is in effect, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December commencing on September 30, 2016 and continuing thereafter through and including the Commitment Termination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(c) (but only as to a breach of Section 5.06(i)), or Section 7.01(e), the foregoing
per annum letter of credit fee shall be increased to the Default Rate, after as well as before judgment, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including under Section 7.01(a) or
Section 7.01(e)), upon the request of the Majority Lenders, the foregoing per annum letter of credit fee shall be increased to the Default Rate, after as well as before judgment. 

(ii)    The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit
issued by the Issuing Lender hereunder equal to the greater of (x) $700 per annum or (y) 0.25% per annum times the face amount of such Letter of Credit, during the period such Letter of Credit is in effect, payable quarterly in arrears on the last
day of each March, June, September, and December commencing on September 30, 2016 and continuing thereafter through and including the Commitment Termination Date. 

(iii)    The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender such other usual and customary fees associated with any
transfers, amendments, drawings, negotiations or reissuances of any Letters of Credit. Such fees shall be due and payable as requested by the Issuing Lender in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s then current fee policy. 

  
 -67- 













 (iv)    The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to refund any
letter of credit fees previously paid by the Borrower, including any refund claimed because any Letter of Credit is canceled prior to its Expiration Date. 

(c)    Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to Wells Fargo and the other parties thereto, as applicable, the fees
provided for in the Fee Letters. 
 Section 2.09    Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 

(a)    Reference Rate Advances. Each Reference Rate Advance shall bear interest at the Adjusted Reference Rate in
effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Reference Rate Advances in effect from time to time. The Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender all accrued but unpaid interest on such Lender’s
Reference Rate Advances, quarterly in arrears, on each March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December
31st,
commencing on September 30, 2016, on the date such Reference Rate Advance shall be paid in full and on the Commitment Termination Date. 

(b)    Eurodollar Rate Advances. Each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear interest during its Interest Period equal
to at all times the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances for such period. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender all accrued but unpaid
interest on each of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (and in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, on each day prior to the
last day of such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period), on the date any Eurodollar Rate Advance is repaid, and on the Commitment Termination Date. 

(c)    Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(c) (but only as to a breach of Section 5.06(i)), or Section 7.01(e), all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate and
(ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default addressed in the foregoing clause (i)), upon the request of the Majority Lenders, all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as
before judgment, at the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) and all interest accrued but unpaid on or after the Commitment Termination Date shall be due and payable on demand (and if no such demand is made, then due
and payable on the otherwise due dates provided herein or if no such due dates are provided herein on the last day of each calendar quarter). Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against Holdings or any Loan Party of any petition seeking any relief in
bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 Section 2.10    Illegality. If any Lender in its good
faith judgment shall notify the Borrower that, after the date hereof, the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it
is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make, maintain, or fund any Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding hereunder, (a) the Borrower shall, no later
than 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas, time) (i) if not prohibited by law, on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advance or (ii) if required by such notice, on the second Business Day following its receipt
of such notice, prepay all of the Eurodollar Rate Advances 

  
 -68- 













 
of such Lender then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to
Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date, (b) such Lender shall simultaneously make a Reference Rate Advance to the Borrower on such date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar
Rate Advances prepaid to such Lender, and (c) the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances from such Lender for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist. Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such
designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

Section 2.11    Breakage Costs. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time
to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a)    any continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment (including any deemed payment or repayment and any reallocated
repayment to Non-Defaulting Lenders provided for herein) of any Advance other than a Reference Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise). 
 (b)    any failure by the Borrower (for a reason
other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay, borrow, continue or Convert any Advance other than a Reference Rate Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 

(c)    any assignment of an Eurodollar Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15; 
 including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The
Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.11, the requesting Lender shall
be deemed to have funded the Eurodollar Rate Advances made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for Dollars for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Advance was in fact so funded. 

Section 2.12    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 (or its applicable Lending Office) (except any reserve requirement included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) or the
Issuing Lender; 
 (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 

  
 -69- 













 (iii)    impose on any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or the
Issuing Lender on the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances 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 its applicable Lending Office) or such other Recipient of making,
Converting to, continuing or maintaining any loan or of maintaining its obligation to make or accept and purchase any such loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office), the Issuing Lender
or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b)    Capital/Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting
such Lender or Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of financial institutions generally, including such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Issuing Lender, if
any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such
Lender, the Issuing Lender, the corporation controlling such Lender or the Issuing Lender, or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
Issuing Lender’s policies, the policies of the corporation controlling such Lender or the Issuing Lender, and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time
within ten Business Days after written demand by such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender,
the corporation controlling such Lender or the Issuing Lender, or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c)    Certificate. Any Lender or Issuing Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.12 shall furnish
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.12 hereunder which shall be determined by
such Lender in good faith and which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 

(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 -70- 













 Section 2.13    Payments and Computations. 

(a)    Payments. All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this
Agreement and other Loan Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim. 

(b)    Payment Procedures. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later
than 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the location referred to in the Notes (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in same
day funds and, as to payments of principal, accompanied by a notice of optional payment from the Borrower, with appropriate insertions and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter, and in
any event prior to the close of business on the day any timely payment is made, cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent or a
specific Lender pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, and 9.02 and such other provisions herein which expressly provide for payments to a specific Lender, but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 7.04) in
accordance with each Lender’s applicable pro rata share to the Lenders for the account of their respective applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the
account of its applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of other amounts due solely to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or a specific Lender, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such amounts to the appropriate party to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

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

(d)    Computations. Computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of,
(a) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances and Reference Rate Advances based on the Federal Funds Rate and the Eurodollar Rate, a year of 360 days and (b) with respect to Reference Rate Advances based on the Reference Rate, a year of
365/366 days, and (c) with respect to of all other interest and fees, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an amount of interest or fees shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(e)    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued but unpaid
interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) take an assignment of,
or purchase participations in, (in any event, for cash at face value) the Advances and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the


  
 -71- 













 
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that: 

(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii)    the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in Letter of Credit Exposure to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirement,
that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan
Party in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 2.14    Taxes. 

(a)    Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing
Lender and the term “applicable Legal Requirement” includes FATCA. 
 (b)    Payments Free of Taxes.
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirement. If any applicable Legal Requirement
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 Legal Requirement and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding
has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 (c)    Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirement, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d)    Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient,
within 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 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. 

  
 -72- 













 (e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07 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 Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party 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 Legal Requirement 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 2.14(g)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) 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 

  
 -73- 













 
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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN,
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-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (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 J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN, 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-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may
provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement 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 Legal Requirement 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 Legal Requirement and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement (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. 

  
 -74- 













 (h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in
its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax 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 2.14 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 2.15    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or
requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances 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 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b)    Replacement Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or notifies the Borrower of
its inability to make, maintain, or fund any Eurodollar Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.15(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (and in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent may) upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Section 2.12 or Section 2.14) 

  
 -75- 













 
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that: 
 (i)    As to assignments required by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have paid
to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.07, unless such fee has been waived by the Administrative Agent; 

(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its applicable
Advances and participations in Letter of Credit Obligations, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 2.11) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or such
Lender’s inability to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; 
 (iv)    such assignment does not conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement; and 

(v)    with respect to a Non-Consenting Lender, the proposed amendment,
modification, waiver, consent or release with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been approved by the Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable, and such agreement, amendment, waiver, consent or release can be
effected as a result of such assignment (and, if applicable, one or more other assignments) contemplated by this Section. 
 A Lender shall not be required
to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Solely
for purposes of effecting any assignment involving a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender under this Section 2.15 and to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, each Lender hereby
designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, for and on behalf of and in the
name of such Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver the Assignment and Acceptance required hereunder if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender and such Lender shall be bound thereby as
fully and effectively as if such Lender had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same. 

Section 2.16    Defaulting Lender. 

(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement: 

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver
or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders and the definition of Required Lenders. 

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.04 shall
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any 

  
 -76- 













 
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in
accordance with Section 2.07), if any, with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance hereunder in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and
released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s current or potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.07; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on the
applicable pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit
Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or
held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii)    Certain Fees. 

(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees under Section 2.08(b) for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.07. 

(C)    With respect to any fee under Section 2.08(b) not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

  
 -77- 













 (iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting
Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Share (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have
otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Exposure of
any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment then in effect. Subject to Section 9.29, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of
such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v)    Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be
effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Legal Requirement, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.07. 
 (b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing
Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which
may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine
to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will
cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a
Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s right to replace a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies
available to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, at law, in equity or by statute. 

(c)    Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to
issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension or any Conversion or continuance of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may

continuance of an Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken

and is continuing and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint, as applicable, a successor Administrative Agent (which shall be a Lender or such other Person appointed by the Majority Lenders) or a successor Issuing
Lender (which shall be a Lender). If no such successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender gives notice

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be

Section 2.14(d) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender, as applicable, their respective sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, was acting as Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable.

(a)    The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or
further consent from such Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Instruments which may be necessary to perfect and maintain the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security
Instruments. The Administrative Agent is further authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any action in exigent
circumstances as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments,
each Secured Party hereby agrees to the terms of this paragraph (a). 

  
 -129- 













 (b)    The Lenders hereby, and any other Secured Party by accepting the
benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to (i) release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon termination of this
Agreement, termination of all Hedge Contracts with such Persons (other than Hedge Contracts as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable counterparty in its sole discretion have been made), termination of all Letters of Credit (other than

transaction permitted under this Agreement. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral or
Guarantors pursuant to this Section 8.11. At the written request and sole expense of the Borrower, which written request shall also include a certification from a Responsible Officer certifying to the Administrative Agent that such release is
permitted under this Section 8.11 and that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (which certification the Administrative Agent may, but is not obligated to, rely on), the Administrative Agent shall
promptly provide the releases of Collateral or Guarantors permitted to be released under this Section 8.11 subject to evidence of such transaction and release documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent except that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated, to provide such releases for such Property to be sold but not yet sold or such Property subject to a lease that is about to expire but not yet expired. Upon any of the Collateral constituting

Administrative Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies
hereunder, under the Guaranty and under the Security Instruments may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. By accepting the
benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby agrees to the terms of this paragraph (c).

provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise
have under Legal Requirements to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar Dispositions of Collateral; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this subsection (b) shall not limit the rights of (i) any Lender Swap

 Section 9.06    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and when the Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Lender, either received a counterpart hereof executed by such Lender or been notified by such

to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any interest in this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of each Lender, except as otherwise permitted by
Section 6.04.
EachHoldings

Holdings or such Loan Party is intended to be, and none of
such Persons shall be, third party beneficiaries of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and therefore no Indemnitee will have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or otherwise) to any Loan Party’s respective Affiliate of Holdings or any Loan Party that is not a party hereto or to any Loan Party’s equityholders or creditorsequityholder or creditor of Holdings or any Loan Party arising out of,
related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither
Holdings, nor the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to
an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b)    Assignment by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i)    Minimum Amounts. The aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless (A) such assignment is to a
Lender, and Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund or (B) each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). 

  
 -136- 













 (ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
paragraph (b)(i) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
provided that (1) 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 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof, and
(2) notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the foregoing clause (1), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower is required if such assignment is to a
Non-Commercial Bank regardless of whether such Non-Commercial Bank is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 

(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender and for assignments to any Lender that is a Non-Commercial Bank; and 

(C)    the consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required for any such assignment to a Person that is not
a Lender and for assignments to any Lender that is a Non-Commercial Bank. 

(iv)    Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v)    Limitations on Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or
any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B). 

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

(vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances 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 Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued and unpaid thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its
full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall
become effective under applicable Legal Requirement without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs. 

  
 -137- 













 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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
2.12, 2.14, 9.01, 9.02 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a
Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.09 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Borrower hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent acting as
its agent solely for the purpose set forth above in this clause (c), shall not subject the Administrative Agent to any fiduciary or other implied duties, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. 

(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.02(a) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its
Participant(s). 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of
the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Section 9.03 (that adversely affects such Participant). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 

  
 -138- 













 
2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section;
and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.15 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.04 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13(e) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Advances 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. The Borrower hereby agrees that each Lender acting as its agent solely for the purpose set
forth above in this clause (d), shall not subject such Lender to any fiduciary or other implied duties, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. 

(e)    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 pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(f)    Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may
exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Advances in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. 
 Section 9.08    Confidentiality. Each Lender
Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any regulatory or similar authority purporting
to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) as to the extent required by Legal Requirements or regulations or in any legal,
judicial, administrative or other compulsory proceeding, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement, under any other Loan Document or under any agreement related to any Secured
Obligation, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement related to any 

  
 -139- 













 
Secured Obligation, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction
under which payments are to be made by reference to any Loan Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) to an investor or prospective investor in an Approved Fund that also agrees that Information shall be used
solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such Approved Fund, (iv) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in an Approved Fund in connection with the administration, servicing and
reporting on the assets serving as collateral for an Approved Fund, or (v) to a nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries, the Advances and the Loan Documents in connection
with ratings issued with respect to an Approved Fund, (g) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facility,
(h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, (j) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by the disclosing party or (ii) becomes available to any Secured Party or affiliate thereof from a third party that is not, to such Person’s
actual knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to Holdings or the Borrower, (k) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of any Lender Party or, if such Lender Party deems necessary for the
mitigation of claims by those authorities against such Lender Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, in accordance with such Lender Party’s regulatory compliance policy, (l) to the extent that such information is independently
developed by such Lender Party, or (m) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating
to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof 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. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, nothing in this Agreement shall (a) restrict any Lender Party from providing information to
any bank or other regulatory or governmental authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board and its supervisory staff; (b) require or permit any Lender Party to disclose to any Loan Party that any information will be or was
provided to the Federal Reserve Board or any of its supervisory staff; or (c) require or permit any Lender Party to inform any Loan Party of a current or upcoming Federal Reserve Board examination or any nonpublic Federal Reserve
Board supervisory initiative or action.

MANDATORILY APPLICABLE TO SUCH LENDER NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF, THE LENDER PARTIES AND THE LOAN PARTIES
STIPULATE AND AGREE THAT NONE OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS CONTAINED
IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL EVER BE CONSTRUED
TO CREATE A CONTRACT TO PAY, AS CONSIDERATION FOR THE USE,
FORBEARANCE OR DETENTION OF MONEY, INTEREST AT A RATE IN EXCESS OF
THE MAXIMUM RATE AND THAT FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT “INTEREST”
SHALL INCLUDE THE AGGREGATE OF ALL CHARGES WHICH CONSTITUTE INTEREST UNDER
SUCH LAWS THAT ARE CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED OR RECEIVED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT; AND IN THE EVENT THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS TAKEN, RESERVED, CHARGED, RECEIVED OR PAID ON
THE ADVANCES, INCLUDE AMOUNTS WHICH BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT ARE DEEMED
INTEREST WHICH WOULD EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATE, THEN SUCH EXCESS SHALL
BE DEEMED TO BE A MISTAKE AND EACH LENDER RECEIVING SAME SHALL
CREDIT THE SAME ON THE PRINCIPAL OF ITS ADVANCES (OR IF SUCH
ADVANCES SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL, REFUND SAID EXCESS TO THE
BORROWER). IN THE EVENT THAT THE MATURITY OF THE ADVANCES ARE
ACCELERATED BY REASON OF ANY ELECTION OF THE HOLDER THEREOF RESULTING
FROM ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR IN
THE EVENT OF ANY REQUIRED OR PERMITTED PREPAYMENT, THEN SUCH CONSIDERATION
THAT CONSTITUTES INTEREST MAY NEVER INCLUDE MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM RATE,
AND EXCESS INTEREST, IF ANY, PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR
OTHERWISE SHALL BE CANCELED AUTOMATICALLY AS OF THE DATE OF SUCH
ACCELERATION OR PREPAYMENT AND, IF THERETOFORE PAID, SHALL BE CREDITED ON
THE APPLICABLE ADVANCES (OR, IF THE APPLICABLE ADVANCES SHALL HAVE BEEN
PAID IN FULL, REFUNDED TO THE BORROWER OF SUCH INTEREST). IN
DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT THE INTEREST PAID OR PAYABLE UNDER ANY
SPECIFIC CONTINGENCIES EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM RATE, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THE
LENDERS SHALL TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT
AMORTIZE, PRORATE, ALLOCATE AND SPREAD IN EQUAL PARTS DURING THE PERIOD
OF THE FULL STATED TERM OF THE OBLIGATIONS ALL AMOUNTS CONSIDERED TO
BE INTEREST UNDER APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT AT ANY TIME CONTRACTED FOR,
CHARGED, RECEIVED OR RESERVED IN CONNECTION WITH THE OBLIGATIONS. THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS SECTION SHALL CONTROL OVER ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY BE IN APPARENT
CONFLICT HEREWITH. 
 Section 9.11    Usury Recapture. In the event the
rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Advances shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or
accrued on the Advances equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Advances if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement or applicable Loan Document had at all times been in effect. In the event, upon
payment in full of the Advances, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Advances is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in
this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the
lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on its Advances if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on its Advances if the rates of interest set
forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid under this Agreement on its Advances. In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum
Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Advances, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
