Amendment Effective Date, continue to be outstanding under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and shall not be deemed to be paid, released, discharged or otherwise satisfied by the

5. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Except as herein expressly amended, and except as amended pursuant to the document referenced in Section 4(a)(iii) above, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are and shall remain in full
force and effect and all references in any Loan Document to the “Credit Agreement” shall henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Nothing in this Amendment or in any of the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, the refinancing contemplated hereby) is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of any of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or to modify, affect
or impair the perfection, priority or continuation of the security interests in, security titles to or other Liens on any Collateral for the Obligations. 

(b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and
assigns. 
 (c) THIS AMENDMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 10.6 AND 10.7 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED HEREBY) RELATING TO
GOVERNING LAW, JURISIDICTION AND WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, THE PROVISIONS OF WHICH ARE BY THIS REFERENCE INCORPORATED HEREIN IN FULL. 

(d) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Subject to Section 4 above, this Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties required to be a party hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by
telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.


  
 - 6 - 








 (e) If any provision of this Amendment or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Credit Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents. 

(f) The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith. 

(g) In consideration of the amendments contained herein, each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases each of the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from any and all claims and defenses, known or unknown as of the date hereof, with respect to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 

(h) This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement. 

(i) Each Lender signatory hereto hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Guaranty,
dated as of even date herewith, by and among the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and hereby consents to such amendment.

May 9, 2013 or is thereafter formed or acquired, and shall remain a Restricted Subsidiary until designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this definition) and (vii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent an officer’s certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying compliance with each of the requirements of the preceding clauses (i) through (vi) and (b) any Subsidiary of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement (each, a “Subsidiary Redesignation”); provided that (A) immediately before and
after such Subsidiary Redesignation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist, (B) the designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time
of such designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time, (C) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in ARTICLE VI as of the last day of the most
recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or (b), as applicable, together with the consolidating financial statements relating thereto required under
Section 5.1(d) (after giving effect to such Subsidiary Redesignation), (D) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect
as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Subsidiary Redesignation (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations
and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (E) such Subsidiary Redesignation shall constitute a return on any Investment by the Borrower in Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are subject to such
Subsidiary Redesignation in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion (proportionate to the Borrowers’ direct or indirect equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Subsidiary (and any
Subsidiaries thereof) and (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Borrowers’ direct or indirect equity interest in such Subsidiary, in each case, at the date of such Subsidiary Redesignation of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s (as
applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary), (F) the Borrower shall cause the Subsidiary that is the subject of such Subsidiary Redesignation to comply with, to the extent applicable, Section 5.10 and Section 5.11 and
(G) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying compliance with the requirements of the preceding clauses (A) through
(E); provided, further, that no Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been designated as a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Redesignation may again be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. For the avoidance of
doubt, the results of operations, cash flows, assets and indebtedness or other liabilities of Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be taken into account or consolidated with the accounts of any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary for any purpose under
this Agreement (other than for the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and (b)) or the other Loan Documents, including for the purposes of determining any financial calculation contained in this
Agreement.

any date, the number of years obtained by dividing: (a) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the amount of each then remaining installment, sinking fund, serial maturity or other required payments of principal, including
payment at final maturity, in respect thereof, by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the making of such payment; by (b) the then outstanding principal amount of such
Indebtedness. 
 “Wholly-Owned Subsidiary” means (i) any Restricted Subsidiary
all of the outstanding voting securities of which shall at the time be owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower or one or more wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower, or by

to by Class (e.g. “Revolving Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g. “Eurodollar Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g. “Revolving Eurodollar Borrowing”). 

Section 1.3. Accounting Terms and Determination.  

If any changes in generally accepted accounting principles are hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions or standards herein or in the related
definitions or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at the Borrower’s request or the Administrative Agent’s request, to enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such
provisions in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes
as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such
calculations. The parties hereto agree that any such amendment entered into as a result of a change in the accounting principles relating to the treatment of operating leases, including the capitalization thereof, would be effected at no cost to the
Borrower (other than the reasonable attorney’s fees of the Administrative Agent). In the 

  
 39 








 
event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement Accounting Principles shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of such amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect at such time. Notwithstanding any
other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Accounting

Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein.

such agreement, instrument or other document as it was originally executed or as it may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set
forth herein), (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns (including, without limitation, a debtor in possession on its behalf), (iii) the words

condition or occurrence of the foregoing types could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, notwithstanding that a particular event, act, condition or occurrence does not itself have such effect, a Material Adverse Effect
shall be deemed to have occurred if the cumulative effect of such event, act, condition or occurrence and all other such events, acts, conditions or occurrences of the foregoing types which have occurred could reasonably be expected to result in a

 Section 2.2. Revolving Loans.
 
 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make Revolving Loans,
ratably in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, to the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (b) the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders exceeding the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base, in each case, then
in effect. During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that the Borrower may not borrow or reborrow
should there exist a Default or Event of Default. On the Closing Date, each of the Extending Lenders with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to the Closing Date agrees to extend the termination date of its Revolving Commitment through and
including the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Lenders acknowledge that the Revolving Commitment of the Non-Extending Lenders will not be extended and will terminate on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 

Section 2.3. Procedure for Revolving Borrowings.  

The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving
Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 (a “Notice of Revolving Borrowing”) (x) prior to 2:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of each Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 2:00
p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of each Eurodollar Borrowing. Each Notice of Revolving Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the date of
such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the 

  
 41 








 
Type of such Revolving Loan comprising such Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Each Revolving Borrowing shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request. The aggregate principal amount of each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be not less than
$250,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000, and the aggregate principal amount of each Base Rate Borrowing shall not be less than $250,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000; provided, that Base Rate Loans made pursuant to Section 2.4
or Section 2.22(d) may be made in lesser amounts as provided therein. At no time shall the total number of Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding at any time exceed 20. Promptly following the receipt of a Notice of Revolving Borrowing in
accordance herewith, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Revolving Borrowing. The Borrower agrees that it will not request
any Revolving Borrowing to be funded or made available to the Borrower on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 

Section 2.4. Swingline Commitment. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, from time to
time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (ii) the difference between (x) the lesser of (1) the
Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (2) the Borrowing Base in effect at such time minus (y) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders; provided, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline
Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

(b) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline
Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4 attached hereto (“Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) prior to 10:00 a.m. on the requested date of each Swingline Borrowing. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the principal amount of such Swingline Loan, (ii) the date of such Swingline Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loan
should be credited. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of each Notice of Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Loan shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The aggregate principal amount of
each Swingline Loan shall be not less than $100,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of each Swingline Loan available to
the Borrower in Dollars in immediately available funds at the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

(c) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), and shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf) on the fifth (5th)

  
 42 








 
Business Day following each Swingline Borrowing give a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) to make Base Rate Loans in
an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in accordance
with Section 2.7, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan. 
 (d) If for any reason a Base Rate
Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating
interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available
funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. 
 (e) Each
Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or to purchase the participating interests pursuant to Section 2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for
each day from the date of demand thereof (i) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (ii) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment, the
Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of
principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Lender’s participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to this
Section 2.4, until such amount has been purchased in full. 
 (f) The Borrower agrees that it will not request any Swingline
Borrowing to be funded or made available to the Borrower on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Further, to the extent any Swingline Loans are outstanding on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date, all such Swingline
Loans shall be repaid in full on such date. 
 (g) If the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche
of Revolving Commitments at a time when another tranche of Revolving Commitments is in effect with a longer Revolving Commitment Termination Date as a result of an Extension, then on the earlier occurring Revolving Commitment Termination Date all
then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date. 

  
 43 








 Section 2.5. Term Loan Commitments; Term Loan A-2.  

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, certain Lenders severally agreed to make on the Prior Closing Date (i) a single
term loan to the Borrower (the “Term Loan A”) in a principal amount equal to the Term Loan A Commitment of such Lender and (ii) a single term loan to the Borrower (the “Term Loan A-1”) in a principal amount
equal to the Term Loan A-1 Commitment of such Lender. 
 (b) On the Closing Date, each of the Extending Lenders holding a Term Loan A
immediately prior to the Closing Date agrees that such Term Loan A will be converted into a Term Loan A-2 of like outstanding principal amount. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge the
making of the Term Loan A on the Prior Closing Date and agree that, on and after the Closing Date, the Term Loan A of each Extending Lender shall continue to be outstanding as a Term Loan A-2 and such Term Loan A-2 shall be a separate Class of Term
Loans. 
 (c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch agrees to make on the Closing Date an
additional Term Loan A-1 to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to the Additional Term Loan A-1 Commitment. Effective on the Closing Date, without constituting a novation, the Term Loan A-1 outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date,
together with the additional Term Loan A-1 made pursuant to the Additional Term Loan A-1 Commitment on the Closing Date, shall constitute the “Term Loan A-1”, a single, undivided term loan outstanding under, and for all purposes of, the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (d) The Term Loans may be, from time to time, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans or a
combination thereof. Once repaid, Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 Section 2.6. Funding of Borrowings.  

(a) Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available
funds by 11:00 a.m. to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office; provided, that the Swingline Loans will be made as set forth in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by
promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of
such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrower on such date a


  
 44 








 
corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest
at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 (c) All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of
their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of
any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder. 
 Section 2.7. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.7. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall NOT apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.7 attached hereto (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be,
(x) prior to 10:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar
Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”. If any such


  
 45 








 
Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month.
The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3. 

(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of
Conversion/ Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar
Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest
Period in respect thereof. 
 (d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 Section 2.8. Optional Reduction
and Termination of Commitments. 
 (a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments, Swingline Commitments and LC
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; provided, that, the Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders shall terminate on the Existing Revolving Commitment
Termination Date. The Term Loan Commitments (other than the Additional Term Loan A-1 Commitment) terminated on the Prior Closing Date upon the making of such Term Loans. The Additional Term Loan A-1 Commtiment will terminate on the Closing Date upon
the making of the additional Term Loan A-1 pursuant to Section 2.5(c). 
 (b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower under this Section 2.8 may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition
is not satisfied), the Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole; provided, that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and
permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 and any larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall
be permitted which would reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment to an amount less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment below the principal amount of the Swingline Commitment or the
LC Commitment shall result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment. Any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section
shall not be subject to reinstatement (other than increases pursuant to Section 2.24(a). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders upon receipt of any written request by the Borrower to reduce or terminate the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section. 

  
 46 








 (c) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender that
is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.23(a)(ii) will apply to
all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 Section 2.9. Repayment of Loans. 

(a) The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans held by Non-Extending Lenders shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon), and
shall be paid to such Lenders, on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 
 (b) The principal amount of each Swingline Borrowing
shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the earlier of (i) the fifth Business Day following each Swingline Borrowing and (ii) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Without limiting the
foregoing, to the extent any Swingline Loans are outstanding on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date, all such Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date. 

(c) The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge that, through the Closing Date (but without giving effect to the conversion contemplated by
Section 2.5(b)), the Borrower has repaid a portion of (i) Term Loan A in an aggregate principal amount equal to $6,250,000 and (ii) Term Loan A-1 in an aggregate principal amount equal to $3,125,000. The Borrower and the
Lenders further acknowledge and agree that, as of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the conversion of a portion of the Term Loan A into Term Loan A-2 pursuant to Section 2.5(b), the aggregate outstanding principal balance of
(1) Term Loan A is $6,249,999.97 and (2) Term Loan A-2 is $87,500,000.03. The Borrower and the Lenders further acknowledge and agree that, immediately prior to the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Term
Loan A-1 is $46,875,000, and after giving effect to the funding of Additional Term Loan A-1 Commitment on the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A-1 will be
$60,000,000. 
 (d) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Non-Extending Lenders
holding the Term Loan A, on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December commencing on March 31, 2014, a principal amount equal to $6,249,999.97 multiplied by (i) 1.25%, for the first three (3) such
quarterly installments, (ii) 1.875%, for the next four (4) quarterly installments thereafter and

(iii) 2.5%, for the next eight (8) quarterly installments thereafter; provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan A
shall be due and payable on the Term Loan A Maturity Date. Payments under this clause (d) shall be made to each Non-Extending Lender holding a Term Loan A based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof and all such payments shall be
adjusted from time to time to account for optional and mandatory prepayments made hereunder. 
 (e) The Borrower unconditionally promises to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding the Term Loan A-1, on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December commencing on March 31, 2014, a principal amount equal to $60,000,000
multiplied by (i) 1.25%, for the first eight (8) such quarterly installments and (ii) 1.875%, for the next four (4) quarterly installments thereafter; provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate
unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan A-1 shall be due and payable on the Term Loan A-1 Maturity Date. Payments under this clause (e) shall be made to each Lender holding a Term Loan A-1 based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof
and all such payments shall be adjusted from time to time to account for optional and mandatory prepayments made hereunder. 
 (f) The
Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding the Term Loan A-2, on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December commencing on March 31, 2014, a principal
amount equal to $87,500,000.03 multiplied by (i) 1.25%, for the first eight (8) such quarterly installments, (ii) 1.875%, for the next four (4) quarterly installments thereafter and (iii) 2.5%, for the next eight
(8) quarterly installments thereafter; provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan A-2 shall be due and payable on the Term Loan A-2 Maturity Date. Payments under this clause
(f) shall be made to each Lender holding a Term Loan A-2 based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof and all such payments shall be adjusted from time to time to account for optional and mandatory prepayments made hereunder. 

(g) Not later than six (6) months prior to the Term Loan A-1 Maturity Date, any Lender holding all or any portion of Term Loan A-1 shall
provide written notice to the Borrower of its election whether or not to extend the Term Loan A-1 Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.25 for a period of two (2) years (it being agreed that any Extension with respect to Term
Loan A-1 shall be for a minimum of two (2) years). 
 Section 2.10. Evidence of Indebtedness.  

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain
appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment and Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Class and Type thereof and, with respect to any Eurodollar
Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.8, (iv) the date of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another


  
 48 








 
Type pursuant to Section 2.8, (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in
respect of such Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such
record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) At the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note, a
Term Note A, a Term Note A-1 and/or a Swingline Note, payable to the order of such Lender. 
 Section 2.11. Optional
Prepayments.  
 The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing, 11:00 a.m. not less
than three (3) Business Days prior to any such prepayment, (ii) in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less than one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of Swingline
Borrowings, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of
any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.14(e); provided, that if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date
other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19. Each partial prepayment of any Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be in an amount that
would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2 or in the case of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.4. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made on a pro rata basis to each of Term Loan
A, Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 (with the application of such prepayment to be, as to each of Term Loan A, Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2, to principal installments thereof in inverse order of maturity). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower under this
Section 2.11 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

  
 49 








 Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of any sale or other disposition of Property (including the sale or other
disposition of Receivables) by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary if the aggregate fair market value of the consideration received by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries for such sale or other disposition, together with the aggregate
fair market value of the consideration received by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries for all other such sales or other dispositions consummated during the period of twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the consummation of such
sale or other disposition, exceeds $25,000,000, the Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (notifying the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof and certifying the amount of Net Cash
Proceeds received from such sales or other dispositions during such period). Unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Officer’s Certificate the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Required Lenders, shall have notified
the Borrower of the Required Lenders’ election to forego prepayment, then on the date that is seven (7) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower shall have delivered such Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders the Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the Ratable Share of the amount of Net Cash Proceeds certified in such Officer’s Certificate (or such lesser principal amount as shall then be outstanding), at
100% of the principal amount so prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) up to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sales or other dispositions with respect to which the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent written notice (set
forth in the applicable Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (a)) of its intention to repair or replace the Property subject to any such sale or other disposition or invest such Net Cash Proceeds
in the purchase of Property (other than securities, unless those securities represent equity interests in an entity that becomes a Guarantor or an Unrestricted Subsidiary permitted hereunder (and provided that if such Guarantor or Unrestricted
Subsidiary is a newly formed Person, such Person shall promptly use the portion of the Net Cash Proceeds received by it for the sale of its equity interests in order to purchase Property to be used by it in its business)) to be used by one or more
of the Borrower or the Guarantors in their businesses (such repair, replacement or investment referred to as a “Reinvestment”) within six (6) months following such sale or other disposition, shall not be subject to the
provisions of the first two sentences of this clause (a) unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such repair, replacement or investment having been made, and (ii) only the Net Cash Proceeds
from sales or other dispositions of Property (including the sale or other disposition of Receivables) with a fair market value of the consideration received therefor in excess of $25,000,000 (above and beyond the fair market value of the
consideration of the dispositions of the Property with respect to which the Net Cash Proceeds shall have been subject to Reinvestment) shall be subject to the provisions of the first two sentences of this clause (a). 

(b) Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12(a) above shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first to repay Term Loans on a pro rata basis as to each of Term Loan A, Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-2 and, unless otherwise provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment applicable to the related Incremental Term Loan, each Incremental Term
Loan (with the application of such prepayment to be, as to each of Term Loan A, Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-2 and Incremental Term Loan, to the remaining scheduled principal installments owing in respect of each such Term Loan under
Section 2.9(d), 

  
 50 








 
(e) and (f), respectively (or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, as set forth in the Incremental Facility Amendment applicable to the related Incremental Term Loan), on a
pro rata basis (including the final installment due and payable on each such Term Loan)), second, to repay outstanding Swingline Loans and third to repay outstanding Revolving Loans. All prepayments in respect of Revolving Loans
required under this clause (b) shall be accompanied by a concurrent, automatic, irrevocable reduction and partial termination of the Revolving Commitments in an amount equal to such required prepayment, with such reduction and partial
termination allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share. 
 (c) If at any time the Revolving Credit
Exposure of all Revolving Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately repay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess (with Swingline Loans being repaid first to the
full extent thereof and next to Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof), in each case, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Section 2.20. Each prepayment of Revolving Loans
shall be applied first to the Revolving Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof, and next to Revolving Eurodollar Loans to the full extent thereof. If such excess is greater than the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans and
Revolving Loans (such greater amount, the “Remaining Excess Amount”), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize its reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit by depositing cash collateral in an amount equal to the
Remaining Excess Amount plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon into a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “LC Collateral Account”) at the Payment Office, in the name of
the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.2. The Borrower hereby pledges,
assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, a Lien in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on
deposit in the LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of
SunTrust Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days. The LC Collateral Account shall be administered in accordance with Section 2.22(g) hereof. If, after the date that the Borrower Cash Collateralizes its reimbursement
obligations pursuant to this clause (c), (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders is less than Aggregate Revolving Commitment, for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days, and (y) no Default or Event of Default
then exists, the funds in the LC Collateral Account shall be released by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower. 
 (d) If at any time the
Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount in respect of the Term Loans then outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base (without giving effect to clause (ii)(y) thereof) then in effect, the Borrower
shall immediately repay the Loans (and, to the extent applicable, Cash Collateralize its reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to such excess (or, if such excess exceeds $10,000,000, the Ratable Share of
such excess), together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Section 2.20. Each prepayment made under this clause (d) within a Class of Loans shall be applied first to the Base Rate
Loans of such Class to the full extent thereof, and next to Eurodollar Loans of such Class to 

  
 51 








 
the full extent thereof. Each prepayment required to be made under this clause (d) shall be applied ratably between the Revolving Facility (based on the Revolving Credit Exposure at such
time) and the Term Loans then outstanding. In the case of prepayments and Cash Collateralization required under this clause (d) in respect of the Revolving Facility, such payments shall be applied by the Administrative Agent first, to
the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and third, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, to Cash Collateralize the Borrower’s
reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit by depositing cash collateral in an LC Collateral Account in the manner and for the purposes described in clause (c) above. Prepayments required under this clause (d) in
respect of the Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay Term Loans on a pro rata basis as to each of Term Loan A, Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-2 and, unless otherwise provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment applicable to
the related Incremental Term Loan, each Incremental Term Loan (with the application of such prepayment to be, as to each of Term Loan A, Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-2 and Incremental Term Loan, to the remaining scheduled principal installments
owing in respect of each such Term Loan under Section 2.9(d), (e) and (f), respectively (or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, as set forth in the Incremental Facility Amendment applicable to the related Incremental Term
Loan), on a pro rata basis (including the final installment due and payable on each such Term Loan)). Any prepayment in respect of Revolving Loans required under this clause (d) shall not be required to be accompanied by, and shall not
otherwise result in, a concurrent reduction or partial termination of the Revolving Commitments in the amount of such required prepayment. 

Section 2.13. Interest on Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in effect from time to time and on each Eurodollar Loan at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan, plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the option of
the Required Lenders, and after acceleration (in which case, such increase shall be automatic), the Borrower shall pay interest (“Default Interest”) with respect to all Eurodollar Loans at the rate per annum equal to 2.0% above the
otherwise applicable interest rate for such Eurodollar Loans for the then-current Interest Period until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, and with respect to all Base Rate Loans and all other Obligations hereunder (other than
Loans), at the rate per annum equal to 2.0% above the otherwise applicable interest rate for Base Rate Loans. 
 (d) Interest on the
principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September and December and on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date (but only in the case of Loans held by the Non-Extending Lenders), the Revolving 

  
 52 








 
Commitment Termination Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date, the Term Loan A-1 Maturity Date or the Term Loan A-2 Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest on all outstanding Eurodollar Loans
shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period in excess of three months or 90 days, respectively, on each day which occurs every three months or 90
days, as the case may be, after the initial date of such Interest Period, and on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date (but only in the case of Loans held by the Non-Extending Lenders), the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the
Term Loan A Maturity Date, the Term Loan A-1 Maturity Date or the Term Loan A-2 Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the maturity date of such Loan, which shall be the fifth Business Day following
such Swingline Borrowing, on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand. 

(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.14. Fees. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon in
writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender with a Revolving Commitment a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage per annum (determined daily in accordance with Schedule I-A) on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the
Availability Period. For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, but not
Swingline Exposure, of such Lender. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender
with a Revolving Commitment, a letter of credit fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in effect on the average daily amount of
such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full (including
without limitation any LC Exposure that remains outstanding after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the Availability Period (or until the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably cancelled, whichever is later), as well as the
Issuing Bank’s 

  
 53 








 
standard fees with respect to issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders elect
to increase the interest rate on the Loans to the Default Interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), the rate per annum used to calculate the letter of credit fee pursuant to clause (i) above shall automatically be increased by an
additional 2% per annum. 
 (d) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, the upfront
fee previously agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or an affiliate of the Administrative Agent), if any, which shall be due and payable on the Closing Date. 

(e) Accrued fees under paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be payable (i) in the case of such fees accrued prior to
the Closing Date under the Existing Credit Agreement, on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of such fees accrued on and after the Closing Date, quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on
March 31, 2014, on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination Date (but only in the case of Loans held by the Non-Extending Lenders) and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the Loans and LC Exposure shall be
repaid in their entirety); provided, that any such fees accruing after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand. 

Section 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees.  

Interest hereunder based on the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days 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 (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest amount or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. 

Section 2.16. Inability to Determine Interest Rates. 

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, 

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower)
that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may be) Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, 

  
 54 








 
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans
as or into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans in accordance
with this Agreement. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for which a Notice of Revolving Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation has previously
been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. 

Section 2.17. Illegality.  

If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so
notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate
Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may
not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such
designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion. 

Section 2.18. Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

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

(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 

  
 55 








 (iii) impose on any Lender or on the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or
maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other
Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or
the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.18
for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of such intention to claim compensation therefor unless the circumstances
giving rise to such increased cost or reduction became applicable retroactively, in which case no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation within six (6) months from the date such
circumstances became applicable. 

  
 56 








 Section 2.19. Funding Indemnity.  

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or
continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after
written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of
(A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the
last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would
accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such
Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.19 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.20. Taxes.  

(a) For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

 (b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and,
if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower 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) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the
Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 (d) The Borrower shall 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. 

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4(d) 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 clause (e). 

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses
(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

  
 58 








 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is 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 originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(ii) executed originals 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 F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of
the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of
IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

  
 59 








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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine 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
Closing Date. 
 (h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 Section 2.20(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 Section 2.20(h), in no event will
the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.20(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
Section 2.20(h) 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. 

  
 60 








 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. 

Section 2.21. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC
Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.18, Section 2.19 or Section 2.20, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights
of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments
pursuant to Section 2.18, Section 2.19 and Section 2.20 and Section 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by
it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to the fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents,
(ii) second, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (iii) third, towards payment of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties, and (iv) fourth, towards
payment of all other Obligations then due, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations then due to such parties. 

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the 

  
 61 








 
Loans 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 Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans 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 (1) 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 (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute amounts due hereunder to the Lenders from the Borrower only after such amounts have been
paid by the Borrower to, and receipt thereof has been confirmed by, the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.22. Letters of
Credit. 
 (a) During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.22(e), agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrower, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on
the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days
prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a stated amount of at least $100,000; and (iii) the Borrower may not request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance
(A) the aggregate LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base, in each
case, then in effect. Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (i) on the Closing Date with respect to all Existing Letters of Credit and (ii) on the date of issuance with respect to all other Letters of Credit. Each issuance of a
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation. To the extent that any Letters of Credit are outstanding on the Existing Revolving Commitment Termination
Date, (x) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant
to Section 2.22) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments of the Extending Lenders up to an aggregate 

  
 62 








 
amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments of such Extending Lenders at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter
of Credit may be so reallocated) and (y) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (x), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
the Issuing Bank but only up to the amount of such Letter of Credit not so reallocated. 
 (b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit
(or any amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such
issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in ARTICLE III, the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the Borrower
shall have executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided, that in the event of any conflict between such applications,
agreements or instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 (c) At least two (2) Business Days prior to
the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent
with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit (1) directing the Issuing
Bank not to issue the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the limitations set forth in Section 3.2 or that one or more conditions specified in ARTICLE III are not then satisfied, then,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. 

(d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its
receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay
in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for any LC Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on
the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the 

  
 63 








 
proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on
the date on which such drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided, that for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof shall not be applicable. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3, and each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.7. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement. 

(e) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such
LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. Each Lender’s obligation to fund its participation shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without
limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event
of Default or the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any
other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. On the date that such participation is required to
be funded, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has received from any such
Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to
such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment; provided, that if such payment is required to be returned for any reason to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such
Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it. 

(f) To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (e) of
this Section on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate;
provided, that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within three (3) Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the
rate set forth in Section 2.14(d). 

  
 64 








 (g) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding that its reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit be Cash Collateralized pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with
the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided, that
such obligation to Cash Collateralize the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower with respect to Letters of Credit shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any
kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.1. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment
and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrower agrees to execute any documents
and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing
Bank for LC Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated, with the consent of the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrower with respect to Letters of Credit as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such cash collateral so posted (to the extent not so applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 (h) Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, the Issuing Bank shall
deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrower a report describing the aggregate Letters of Credit outstanding at the end of such calendar quarter. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall
deliver to such Lender any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. 

(i) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following circumstances: 

(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement; 

(ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction; 

  
 65 








 (iii) Any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (iv)
Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 

(v) Waiver by the Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for the Issuing Bank’s protection and not the protection of
the Borrower or any waiver by the Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower; 
 (vi) Honor of a
demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; 

(vii) Any payment made by the Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the
expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by (x) the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or (y) the
“International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) (or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued), as applicable; 

(viii) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section 2.22, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or 

(ix) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default. 

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related Party of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any actual direct damages (as opposed to special,
indirect (including claims for lost profits or other consequential damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the
Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise due care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, that in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised due care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing


  
 66 








 
and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment
upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (j) Unless otherwise expressly
agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, (i) each standby Letter of Credit shall be governed by the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) (or such later
revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued), (ii) each documentary Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practices for
Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later revision as may be published by the International Chamber of Commerce on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued) and (iii) the
Borrower shall specify the foregoing in each letter of credit application submitted for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. 

Section 2.23. Defaulting Lenders.  

(a) 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 law: 
 (i) 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 Required Lenders; 

(ii) 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 VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.8 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 amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with
Section 2.28; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan 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 potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’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 2.28; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline 

  
 67 








 
Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline 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 Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such
Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all
Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure are held by
the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.23(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 2.23(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; 

(iii) (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee described in Section 2.14(b) 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 a fee described in Section 2.14(c)(i) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolver Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.28. 

(C) With respect to any fee 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 LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure that has
been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent
allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

  
 68 








 (iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline
Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolver Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the
conditions set forth in Section 3.2 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 Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. 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) If the reallocation described in
clause (iv) immediately above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to
the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.28. 

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the each Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank 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 Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and the LC
Exposure and Swingline Exposure to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(ii), 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.

 (c) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless
it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Bank 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. 
 Section 2.24. Incremental Credit Extensions.  

(a) From time to time on or after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, upon ten
(10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to add one or more additional tranches of term loans (the


  
 69 








 
“Incremental Term Loans”) or one or more increases in the Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”; together with the Incremental Term
Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”), provided that at the time of the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom,
(ii) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in ARTICLE VI as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter after giving effect to such
Incremental Revolving Commitments (assuming for such purpose that such Incremental Revolving Commitments are fully drawn at such time) or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, (iii) each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2
shall have been satisfied and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower such legal opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Facilities on and after the Closing Date shall not exceed the sum of $250,000,000. Each Incremental Facility shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and be in an aggregate
principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 in case of Incremental Term Loans or $10,000,000 in case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, provided that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if such amount
represents all the remaining availability hereunder as set forth above or if the Administrative Agent agrees in writing to a lesser minimum amount. Each Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment, and shall have the same
guarantees as, and be secured by the same Collateral securing, all of the other Obligations hereunder. 
 (b) Any Incremental Term Loans
(i) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Term Loan A-1 and the Term Loan A-2 and (ii) other than amortization, pricing or maturity date, shall have the same
terms as Term Loan A-2 or such other terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that (A) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and
(B) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-remaining Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2. 

(c) Any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be on the same terms and conditions as, and pursuant to the same documentation as applicable to,
the Revolving Commitments; provided that the maturity date of such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be no earlier than the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. From and after the making of an Incremental Term Loan or the addition of
any Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, such Incremental Term Loan and such revolving loan funded pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed a “Loan”, “Term Loan” and/or
“Revolving Loan”, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes hereof, and, except as set forth in clause (b) immediately above with respect to Incremental Term Loans, shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as each
other Term Loan or Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set
forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments. Each Lender shall have the right for a period of ten (10) days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to provide the requested Incremental Facility by a principal amount equal 

  
 70 








 
to its Pro Rata Share of such Incremental Facility. Any Lender who does not respond within such 10 day period shall be deemed to have elected not to provide such Incremental Facility. If any
Lender shall elect not to provide such Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.24, the Borrower may designate any other bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders),
which agrees to provide such Incremental Facility (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”) and in the case of any Additional Lender, agrees to become a party to this Agreement,
provided that the Issuing Bank (in the case of an increase through an Incremental Revolving Commitment) and the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional
Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment if such consent would be required under Section 10.4(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such
Lender or Additional Lender. Any Additional Lender shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed
by the Borrower, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders other than the Additional Lenders and/or any existing Lender who has elected to provide any Incremental
Term Loans or increase its Revolving Commitment with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect
of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, (a) each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment immediately
prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (each a “Incremental Revolving Lender”) in respect of such
increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after
giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each
Lender holding a Revolving Commitment (including each such Incremental Revolving Lender) will equal its Pro Rata Share and (b) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior
to the effectiveness of such increase of the Revolving Commitments be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro
rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. This Section 2.24(d) shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.21(a) and Section 10.2 to the contrary. 

  
 71 








 Section 2.25. Maturity Extensions. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but subject to Section 2.9(g)), pursuant to one or more offers
(each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time
transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or
Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing or decreasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (and related
outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or after giving effect to such Extension, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by
the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving
Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments being extended (and related outstandings); provided
that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending
Revolving Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis
with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other
Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class and
(3) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans so extended,
(iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and
(vi), be determined between the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term
Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall
be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any
Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or 

  
 72 








 
mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face
amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which relevant Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the
case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal
amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (ix) any applicable
Minimum Extension Condition (as defined in clause (b) below) shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (x) at no time shall there be (A) Revolving Commitments hereunder which have more than two different maturity
dates and (B) Term Loans hereunder which have more than three different maturity dates, unless, in either case, the Administrative Agent agrees to permit additional maturity dates. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated or
otherwise required to participate in any Extension without its express consent. 
 (b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 or Section 2.12 and (ii) each Extension Offer is required to be
in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and
specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and
the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on the such
terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this
Section. 
 (c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the
consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, the consent of the Issuing
Bank and Swingline Lender. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under the Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari
passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under the Loan Documents. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section and any Extension (including any amendments necessary to
treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments and as a separate “Tranche” and “Class” hereunder of Loans and Commitments, as the case may
be). In addition, if so provided in such 

  
 73 








 
amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans expiring on or after the Revolving Commitment
Termination Date in respect of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment;
provided that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation
interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. 
 (d) In connection with any
Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including,
without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative
Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section. 
 (e) If the Revolving Commitment Termination Date in
respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if another tranche of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall not have occurred
is then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 2.22.) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the
unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i),
the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank but only up to the amount of such Letter of Credit not so reallocated. Except to the extent of reallocations of
participations pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Revolving Commitment Termination Date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not
diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its
behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to
effectuate the terms of this Section 2.25; provided that no amendment or modification shall result in any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Commitment or any increase in any Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in each case,
without the written consent of such affected Lender. 

  
 74 








 Section 2.26. Mitigation of Obligations.  

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.18 or
Section 2.20, 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 costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment. 
 Section 2.27. Replacement of
Lenders.  
 If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, (b) the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver, or
consent, the consent of all of the Lenders, or all of the Lenders directly affected thereby, is required pursuant to Section 10.2, and any such Lender refuses to consent to such amendment, waiver or consent as to which the Required
Lenders have consented, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (but without prejudice to any rights or remedies the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender), 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 set forth in Section 10.4(b)) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender but excluding any Defaulting Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) prior to, or contemporaneous with, the replacement of such Lender, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of a claim for
compensation under Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of clause (d) above,
the assignee Lender shall have agreed to provide its consent to the requested amendment, waiver or consent. 
 Section 2.28. Cash
Collateral For Defaulting Lenders.  
 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 Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender
(determined after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by or in respect of such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 103% of the Fronting Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued and
outstanding at such time. 

  
 75 








 (a) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender,
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligations in respect of LC
Exposure, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) immediately below. 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
Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 103% of the Fronting Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, 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 or in respect of the Defaulting Lender). 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or
Section 2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation in respect of its LC 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. 

(c) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be
required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 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 by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.23, the Borrower or other Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank 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 to be so held was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral
shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 ARTICLE III 

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 

Section 3.1. Conditions To Effectiveness.

 ARTICLE IV 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows: 

Section 4.1. Existence and Standing. 

Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability
company (a) duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, (b) validly existing and (c) (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except in the case of this clause (c) where failure to be in good standing or to be so authorized could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood and agreed, for purposes of this Section, that the failure of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries to be in good standing or to be authorized to conduct its
business in any jurisdiction where such failure could have a material and adverse impact on the ability of such Person to enforce or otherwise collect in the Receivables of such Person in any such jurisdiction shall be deemed to have a Material
Adverse Effect). 
 Section 4.2. Authorization and Validity. 

The Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the
Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyances,
reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 Section 4.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. 

Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, of the Loan Documents to which such Person is
a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) the Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or
operating agreement or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which
it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default 

  
 81 








 
thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture,
instrument or agreement, except, in the case of clause (i), for any such violation which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of,
or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, is
required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and
performance by the Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. 

Section 4.4. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. 

The December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries heretofore delivered to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended. Since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the business, Property, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results
of operations of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken together, in each case which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect 

Section 4.5. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. 

There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers,
threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions. Other than
liabilities incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to be in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000, none of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries has any material contingent
obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 4.4. 
 Section 4.6.
Compliance with Laws. 
 The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all
applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective
Property, except for any failure to comply which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 82 








 Section 4.7. Investment Company Act. 

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 Section 4.8. Taxes. 

Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.8, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and
all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except in respect of such taxes, if any, as are
being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles and as to which no Lien exists (except as permitted by Section 7.2(a)). Except as disclosed on
Schedule 4.8 and except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date, none of the United States income tax returns of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. To the knowledge of any of the Borrower’s officers, no Liens have been filed, and no claims are being asserted with respect to such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate. 

Section 4.9. Regulation U. 

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate of buying or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U), and after applying the proceeds of each Credit Extension, margin stock (as defined in Regulation U)
constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or any other restriction hereunder. 

Section 4.10. ERISA. 

The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans and all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements do not in the aggregate exceed
$5,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA, any withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of an amount
that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any other member of
the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, any Multiemployer
Plan. 
 Section 4.11. Ownership of Property. 

The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have good title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 7.2, to all
of the Property and assets reflected in the Borrower’s most recent consolidated financial statements provided to the Administrative Agent, as owned by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for minor irregularities in title


  
 83 








 
that (i) do not materially interfere with the business or operations of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries as presently conducted and (ii) do not adversely affect the value of
any of the Collateral in any material respect. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed, or otherwise has the right, to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and other intellectual
property to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe in any respect on the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringement which could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.12. Accuracy of Information. 

No Loan Document or written statement furnished by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Agents or to any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained, on the date such Loan Document was entered into or such statements were made, any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in their presentation of the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries, their businesses and their Property. The Borrower makes
no representation or warranty concerning the forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements as to anticipated future performance or conditions, and the assumptions on which they were based, except that as of the date made
(i) such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements were based on good faith assumptions of the management of the Borrower and (ii) such assumptions were believed by such management to be reasonable; it being
understood and agreed that such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, may or may not prove to be correct. In addition, the information provided by or on behalf of the
Loan Parties with respect to the Receivables owned or to be acquired by the Loan Parties (or the related purchase agreements) is, to the Borrower’s knowledge and as of the date provided, true and correct in all material respects and, to the
Borrower’s knowledge, does not contain any material omissions which would cause such information to be materially misleading with respect to such Receivables, taken as a whole. 

Section 4.13. Environmental Matters. 

The Borrower is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except for any noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the
subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 84 








 Section 4.14. Subsidiaries. 

Schedule 4.14 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the Prior Closing Date, setting forth their respective
jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries and whether such Subsidiary, as of the Prior Closing Date, is an Immaterial Subsidiary. All
of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully
paid and non-assessable. 
 Section 4.15. Solvency. 

After giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans under this Agreement, neither the Borrower
nor its Restricted Subsidiaries will be “insolvent,” within the meaning of such term as defined in § 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time, or be unable to pay its debts generally as such debts become
due, or have an unreasonably small capital to engage in any business or transaction, whether current or contemplated. 

Section 4.16. Insurance. 

The Borrower maintains, and has caused each Restricted Subsidiary to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies
insurance on their Property as necessary to conduct their business in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions and covering such properties and risks as is consistent with sound business practice. 

Section 4.17. Sanctioned Person. 

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries or Encore Affiliates is a Sanctioned Person. 

Section 4.18. Anti-Terrorism; Anti-Money Laundering. 

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign
assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (ii) the Uniting And Strengthening America By Providing
Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept And Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001) and (iii) the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V) and any enabling legislation or
executive order relating thereto (the foregoing (i)-(iii), collectively, “Anti-Terrorism Laws”). No part of the proceeds of any Loan, and no Letters of Credit, will be used, directly or indirectly (x) for any payments to any
governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in
violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended or (y) to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country, or in any other
manner that will result in any violation by any Person (including any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender) of any Anti-Terrorism Laws. 

  
 85 








 Section 4.19. Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. 

The Borrower is not an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or 29 C.F.R. §
2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of
Loans hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. 

Section 4.20. Material Agreements. 

Except as described in Schedule 4.20, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any charter or other corporate or similar restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default in any respect in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any (i) agreement or instrument to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any agreement or
instrument evidencing or governing Material Indebtedness. 
 Section 4.21. No Default or Event of Default. 

No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

within twelve (12) months after any Obligations cease to be outstanding (other than any contingent Obligations)), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an
“Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period,
(ii) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined in accordance with the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest
owing, if any, as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to the Obligations, net of any interest paid during the prior twelve (12) months as a
result of any inaccuracy which, if corrected, would have led to the application of a lower Applicable Margin for any period. This Section 5.1 shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to
Section 2.13(c) and ARTICLE VIII. 
 Section 5.2. Notices of Default and Material Events.

Subsidiary to, give notice in writing to the Lenders of the occurrence (i) of any Default or Event of Default and (ii) of any other development, financial or otherwise, which (solely with respect to this clause (ii)) could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to: (i) carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same manner
and in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is conducted on the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall any member of the Propel Group engage in any business such that it would acquire any material amount of Receivables to
the extent such Receivables could be Eligible Receivables if held by a Loan Party and (ii) do all things necessary to remain duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good
standing as a domestic corporation, partnership or limited liability company in its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as the case may be, as in effect on the Closing Date, and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in
each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except (i) as permitted by Section 7.3 or (ii) to the extent that the failure to maintain any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 Section 5.4. Compliance with Laws. 

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments,
injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws, ERISA and Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to which it may be subject where non-compliance with
such laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 89

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, permit the Agents and the Lenders, by their respective representatives and
agents (at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance written notice, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) to inspect (including without limitation to conduct an annual field examination of) any of its
Property, including, without limitation, an audit by the Administrative Agent or professionals (including consultants and accountants) retained by the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s practices in the computation of the Borrowing Base,
inspection and audit of the Collateral, books and financial records of the Borrower and each Loan Party, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of the Borrower and each Loan Party, and to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of the Borrower and each Loan Party with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers. The Borrower shall keep and maintain, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to keep and maintain, in all material
respects, proper books of record and account in which entries in conformity with Agreement Accounting Principles shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to their respective businesses and activities. If a Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Borrower, upon either Agent’s request, shall turn over copies of any such records to such Agent or its representatives. The Borrower shall pay the fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and such professionals with
respect to such examinations, audits and evaluations; provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall undertake only one (1) field examination/audit during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months at the Borrower’s

 Section 5.8. Insurance. 

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on
their Property in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions, and covering such risks as is consistent with sound business practice. The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent endorsements in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent to all general liability and other liability policies name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured. The Borrower shall furnish to any Lender such additional information as such Lender may
reasonably request regarding the insurance carried by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. In the event the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies
or insurance required herein or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then the Collateral Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligations or resulting Default hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under
no obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto which the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Collateral Agent shall constitute
part of the Obligations, payable as provided in this Agreement. 
 Section 5.9. Use of Proceeds. 

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, use the proceeds of the Loans for working capital and general corporate
purposes, which may include, without limitation, purchases of Receivables Portfolios, Permitted Acquisitions, Acquisitions permitted pursuant to Section 7.4(c) and (l) and repayment of Indebtedness under the Existing
Financing Arrangements. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Credit Extensions in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and any such use shall not result in a violation of any such requirements, including, without
limitation, Regulation U and X, the Securities Act of 1933, and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing. 

Section 5.10. Guarantors. 

The Borrower shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Excluded Subsidiaries, Immaterial Subsidiaries and each member of
the Propel Group) to guarantee pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement or supplement thereto (or, in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary, any other guaranty agreement requested by the Administrative Agent) the Secured Obligations. In furtherance of the
above, after the formation or acquisition of any Restricted Subsidiary or a Subsidiary Redesignation, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event upon the earlier of (x) such time as such Restricted Subsidiary becomes a guarantor, co-borrower
or other obligor under the Prudential Financing and (y) within 45 days after such formation or acquisition or Subsidiary Redesignation (with any such time limit permitted to be extended by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion))
(i) provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon any Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, setting forth information in reasonable detail describing all of the assets of such Person, (ii) cause such Person
(other than any member of the Propel Group and any Immaterial Subsidiary) to execute a supplement to the Guaranty Agreement and such other Collateral Documents as are necessary for 

  
 91 








 
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to comply with Section 5.11, (iii) cause the Applicable Pledge Percentage of the issued and outstanding equity interests of such Person and each
other Pledge Subsidiary to be delivered to the Collateral Agent (together with undated stock powers signed in blank, if applicable) and pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant to an appropriate pledge agreement(s) in substantially the form of the
Pledge and Security Agreement (or joinder or other supplement thereto) and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (iv) deliver such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in
connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, certified resolutions and other authority documents of such Person and, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall
cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to above), all in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver the Guaranty Agreement (or supplement thereto) or such other guaranty agreement if such execution and delivery would cause a Deemed Dividend Problem or a Financial Assistance Problem with
respect to such Foreign Subsidiary and, in lieu thereof, the Borrower and the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries shall provide the pledge agreements required under this Section 5.10 or Section 5.11. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower will be required to comply with this Section (x) with respect to any Subsidiaries of Propel Acquisition LLC to the extent that the provisions of the Propel Indebtedness no longer prohibits the guaranty of the Obligations
or the granting of security in respect thereto and (y) with respect to any Immaterial Subsidiary if it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary under the terms of the definition thereof. 

Section 5.11. Collateral. 

The Borrower will cause, and will cause each other Loan Party to cause, all of its owned Property to be subject at all times to first priority,
perfected Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents, subject in any case to Liens permitted by
Section 7.2 (it being understood and agreed that (a) no control agreements will be required hereunder in respect of bank accounts and (b) Mortgages and Mortgage Instruments will only be required hereunder in respect of
Mortgaged Properties). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will (i) cause the Applicable Pledge Percentage of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Pledge Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any
other Loan Party to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents or such other security
documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request and (ii) will, and will cause each Guarantor to, deliver Mortgages and Mortgage Instruments with respect to real property owned by the Borrower or such Guarantor to the extent, and
within such time period as is, reasonably required by the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no pledge agreement in respect of the equity interests of a Foreign Subsidiary shall be required hereunder to the extent such pledge
thereunder is prohibited by applicable law or the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such pledge would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to legally valid, binding and enforceable pledge
agreements. 

  
 92 








 Section 5.12. Post-Closing Obligations. 

The Borrower shall execute and deliver the documents and complete the tasks set forth on Schedule 5.12, in each case as promptly as
possible after the Closing Date and in any event within the time limits specified on such schedule (with any such time limit permitted to be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). The provisions of

shall, other than as permitted thereby, fail to create or maintain for any reason a valid and perfected security interest in any collateral purported to be covered thereby. 

Section 8.2. Acceleration. 

(a) If any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g) occurs with respect to the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable
without any election or action on the part of either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay the Administrative Agent an amount
in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Exposure at such time less (y) the amount or deposit in the LC Collateral Account at such time
which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”). If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, or declare the
Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (b) upon notice to
the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act pay to the
Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount which funds shall be deposited in the LC Collateral Account. 
 (b) If at any time while
any Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon
such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the LC Collateral Account. 

(c) The Agents may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the LC Collateral Account, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents. 

  
 108 








 (d) At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person
claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment has been
terminated, any funds remaining in the LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time, including pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(e) If, after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation
and power of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g) with respect to the Borrower) and before
any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such
acceleration and/or termination. 
 (f) All proceeds from each sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral during
the existence of an Event of Default shall be applied pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Pledge and Security Agreement.

SunTrust Bank is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders authorizes each of the Agents to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, on behalf of such Lender (each Lender hereby agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, as if it were a party thereto, with the Holders of Prudential Note Obligations to be intended third-party beneficiaries of such agreement) and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes each of the Agents to act as the contractual
representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this ARTICLE IX.
Notwithstanding the use of the defined terms “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agents shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any of the Secured Parties by
reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agents are merely acting as the contractual representatives of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In their
capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representatives, (i) neither Agent hereby assumes any fiduciary duties to any of the Secured Parties, (ii) the Collateral Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the
meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) each Agent is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates as Holders of Obligations, hereby agrees to assert no claim 

  
 109 








 
against either Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Holder of Obligations hereby waives. Except as expressly set
forth herein, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall either Agent be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 Section 9.2. Powers. 

Each Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the such Agent by the terms of
each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent shall have any implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action
specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by such Agent. 
 Section 9.3. General Immunity. 

Neither Agent nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable to the Borrower, or any Lender or Holder of Obligations for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. 
 Section 9.4. No Responsibility for Loans,
Recitals, Etc. 
 Neither Agent nor any of their Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire
into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any Borrowing; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in ARTICLE III, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the
Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished
in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any Collateral; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrower’s
or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries. Neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrower to such Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the
Borrower to such Agent (either in its capacity as an Agent or in its individual capacity). 

  
 110 








 Section 9.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. 

Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in
accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that neither Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such) or is otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement. Each
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense
that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 Section 9.6. Employment of Agents and
Counsel. 
 Each Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees,
agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual
arrangement between such Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to such Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 

Section 9.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. 

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic
mail message, statement, paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel reasonably selected by such
Agent, which counsel may be employees of such Agent. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have
consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto. 
 Section 9.8. Agent’s Reimbursement and
Indemnification. 
 The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify each Agent ratably in proportion to the Lenders’ Pro Rata Share
(i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which such Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by such Agent in connection with any dispute between such Agent and any Lender or between two or
more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or


  
 111 








 
asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby
(including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against such Agent in connection with any dispute between such Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the
Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the such Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 2.20(e) and Section 10.4(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section,
be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall survive payment of the Secured Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 

Section 9.9. Notice of Default. 

No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has
received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that either Agent receives such a notice,
such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. 
 Section 9.10. Rights as a Lender. 

In the event either Agent is a Lender, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with
respect to its Revolving Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when an Agent is a Lender, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. Neither Agent, in its individual capacity,
is obligated to remain a Lender. 
 Section 9.11. Lender Credit Decision. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on the
financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 Section 9.12. Successor Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent (i) may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and (ii), if the
Total Exposure (as defined below) of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (in each case in their capacity as a Lender) is less than 7.5%, the Required Lenders may require the Administrative Agent to resign, such resignation to be effective
upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five (45) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign or the Required Lenders
have requested such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of
the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial
bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower
shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor
Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section, then the term “Base Rate” as used in
this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent. The term “Total Exposure” shall mean, at any time of determination with respect to the Revolving Commitment and Term Loans
held by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (in their capacity as a Lender), the quotient (expressed as a percentage) of: (x) the sum of such Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated or
expired or the Revolving Loans have been declared to be due and payable, such Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure) plus the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of such Lenders divided by (y) the sum of all Lenders’
Revolving Commitments (or if such Revolving Commitments have been terminated or expired or the Revolving Loans have been declared to be due and payable, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders) plus the outstanding principal amount of
Term Loans of such Lenders. 

  
 113 








 Section 9.13. Delegation to Affiliates. 

The Borrower and the Lenders agree that each Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such
Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which
such Agent is entitled under ARTICLE IX and ARTICLE X. 
 Section 9.14. Co-Agents, Documentation Agent, Syndication
Agent.  
 None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a “co-agent”, “documentation agent” or
“syndication agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be
deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 9.11. 

Section 9.15. Collateral Documents. 

(a) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a
party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it
being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(b) In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Collateral
Agent is hereby authorized (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. 
 (c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment
and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations, Banking Services Obligations and Rate Management Obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release
is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items
of Collateral pursuant to this Section. 

  
 114 








 (d) Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to
the terms of any Loan Document (other than sales or transfers between the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries), or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as
applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to), subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that
was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or
create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or
obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of
the Collateral. 
 (e) Each Lender hereby directs, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Agents: (i) to release any
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement and any Collateral Document (including the release of any Lien granted by such Guarantor under any such Collateral Document) in connection with (x) the designation of such Guarantor as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” or (y) the execution by any Subsidiary of Propel Acquisition LLC of an agreement evidencing Propel Indebtedness the terms of which prohibit such
Subsidiary from providing a guaranty of the Obligations or the granting of security in respect thereto and (ii) to execute and deliver or file or authorize the filing of such documents, statements and instruments and do such other things as are
necessary to release such Guarantor from such obligations (and to release such Liens) pursuant to this clause (e) promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release. Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Lenders shall confirm in
writing each Agent’s authority to release the applicable Guarantor pursuant to this clause (e). 
 (f) No agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 

Section 9.16. Reports. 

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of either Agent; (b) neither Agent
(i) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report nor (ii) shall be
liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will
rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Agents undertake no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all
Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
provision contained in this 

  
 115 








 
Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages,
costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 

Section 9.17. Withholding Tax. 

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the
account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any
out of pocket expenses. 
 Section 9.18. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Revolving Credit Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or
Revolving Credit Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders,
the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and 

  
 116 








 (b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.3. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the
Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any
Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by

 (b) Any agreement
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone, facsimile or other electronic transmission is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting 

  
 118 








 
to be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on
account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall
not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice. 

(c) Notices and other communications to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing

as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if
such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 

Section 10.2. Waiver; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or any other
Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective 

  
 119 








 
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. 
 (b) Except as
provided in Section 2.24 with respect to any Incremental Facility Amendment or Section 2.25 with respect to any Extension, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to
any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, amend or
otherwise modify the definition of Estimated Remaining Collections or the methods and assumptions used in calculating Estimated Remaining Collections; provided, further that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the
Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any scheduled payment of any principal (excluding any mandatory prepayment) of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a
manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release
the Borrower or, except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, any Guarantor, or limit the liability of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or any such Guarantor under any guaranty agreement, without the written consent of each Lender (it
being understood that the creation of a class of unrestricted or similarly designated Subsidiaries approved by the Required Lenders which class would not be required to guaranty the Obligations shall not be considered a release of any Guarantor);
(vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral securing any of the Obligations or agree to subordinate any Lien in such Collateral to any other creditor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, without the written consent of each Lender;
(viii) subordinate the Loans to any other Indebtedness without the consent of all Lenders; (ix) increase the aggregate of all Commitments (other than pursuant to Section 2.24(a)) without the consent of all of the Lenders; or
(x) change Section 7.2 of the Security Agreement (or the defined terms therein) in a manner that would alter the sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender (or Affiliate of such Lender) directly and
adversely affected thereby; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank without the prior written
consent of such Person. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver 

  
 120 








 
or consent hereunder, except that (I) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (II) subject in all respects
to Section 2.23, no amendment or waiver shall reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest on any Loan, in each case, owing to a Defaulting Lender, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) this
Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this
Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18(a), Section 2.20, Section 2.20(a) and
Section 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with
the terms of this Section notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action taken by the Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section). 

Section 10.3. Expenses; Indemnification. 

(a) The Borrower shall reimburse the Agents and the Arrangers for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges of attorneys for each Agent, which attorneys may be employees of such Agent and expenses of and fees for other advisors and professionals engaged by such Agent or the Arrangers)
paid or incurred by any Agent or the Arrangers in connection with the investigation, preparation, negotiation, documentation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet), review, amendment,
modification and administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges and expenses of attorneys and paralegals for the Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, which attorneys and paralegals may be employees of the Agents, the Arrangers, the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with (i) the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (ii) any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of any of the Obligations. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrower under this Section include, without limitation, the cost and expense of obtaining the field examination contemplated by Section 5.7 and the preparation of
Reports described in the following sentence based on the fees charged by a third party retained by either Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by such Agent with respect to each field examination. The Borrower acknowledges
that from time to time either Agent may prepare and may distribute to the Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to the
Borrower’s assets for internal use by the Agents from information furnished to them by or on behalf of the Borrower, after either such Agent has exercised its rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

  
 121 








 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each
Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, penalties and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for
attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by 
 any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or
any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) the use by any Person of any information
or materials obtained by or through SyndTrak or other internet web sites, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any
other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) The
Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this
Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay
or omission to pay such taxes. 
 (d) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.3, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender,
as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. 

  
 122 








 (e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated herein or therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (f) All amounts due under this Section 10.3
shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 Section 10.4. Successors and Assigns.

assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not 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 (f) 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) 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 Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to either Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at
the time owing to it (in each case with respect to either Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case
of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

  
 123 








 (B) in any case not described in Section 10.4(b)(i)(A), the aggregate
amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and Revolving Credit
Exposure 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 $3,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such lower amount unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after
having received notice thereof. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans, Revolving Credit Exposure or the Commitments assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any
Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
Section 10.4(b)(i)(B) 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
the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Facility or any unfunded Commitments with respect to the Term Loan Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 

(C) the consent of the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility. 

  
 124 








 (iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, (B) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender); provided that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender and (D) the documents required
under Section 2.20 if such assignee is a Foreign Lender. 
 (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such
assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to 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 Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
(x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire
(and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Revolver Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law 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. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4, 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 Section 2.18 and Section 10.3 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 

  
 125 








 
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 10.4. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not
meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) to the Borrower, unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day. 
 (c) The Administrative
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia 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 Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the 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 any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the Register, the Administrative Agent shall serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions
described in this Section, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent SunTrust Bank serves in such capacity, SunTrust Bank and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute an “Indemnitee”
for purposes of Section 10.3. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, 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 Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender
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 2.20(e) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). 
 (e) 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 Section 10.2(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 and Section 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations 

  
 126 








 
therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(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 2.25 and Section 2.27 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 and
Section 2.20, 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 2.27 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to
be subject to Section 2.21(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for
all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or to any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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. 

Section 10.5. Performance of Obligations. 

The Borrower agrees that the Collateral Agent may, but shall have no obligation to (i) at any time, pay or discharge taxes, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against any Collateral and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default make any other payment or perform any act required of the Borrower under any
Loan Document or take any other action which the Collateral Agent in its discretion deems necessary or desirable to protect or preserve the Collateral, including, without limitation, any action to (x) effect any repairs or obtain any insurance
called for by the terms of any of the Loan Documents and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof and (y) pay any rents payable by the Borrower which are more than 30 days past due, or as to which


  
 127 








 
the landlord has given notice of termination, under any lease. The Collateral Agent shall use its best efforts to give the Borrower notice of any action taken under this Section prior to the
taking of such action or promptly thereafter provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay the Collateral Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all
funds advanced by the Collateral Agent under this Section, together with interest thereon at the rate from time to time applicable to Base Rate Loans from the date of such advance until the outstanding principal balance thereof is paid in full. If
the Borrower fails to make payment in respect of any such advance under this Section within one (1) Business Day after the date the Borrower receives written demand therefor from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender and each Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the Collateral Agent, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance. If such funds are not made available
to the Collateral Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Collateral Agent’s demand therefor, the Collateral Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such
unreimbursed advance under this Section shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Collateral Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance on the date such payment is to be made nor
increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Collateral Agent. All outstanding principal of, and interest on, advances made under this Section shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral until paid in full by
the Borrower 
 Section 10.6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or
otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be construed in

law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 128 








 (c) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4(a) and brought in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section 10.4(a). Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.

HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

Section 10.8. Right of Setoff. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if any Loan Party shall have become insolvent, however evidenced, each Lender
(including the Swingline Lender), the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of
any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender, the Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Loan Parties may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of
such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any 

  
 129 








 
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right
of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application.

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or
by email, in pdf format), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, the Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreement(s) relating to any fees
payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject
matters. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement and any other Loan Document by telecopy or by email, in pdf format, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein, in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance

representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is
outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.18(a), Section 2.19, Section 2.20 and
Section 10.3 and ARTICLE IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All representations and warranties made herein, in the Loan Documents in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this

 130 








 Section 10.11. Severability.  

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or
unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 10.12. Confidentiality.  

The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) which it may receive from the
Borrower in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to the Agents and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(provided that such parties are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to
such Lender or to a Transferee (as defined below) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided that such parties are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are instructed to keep such
Confidential Information confidential), (iii) to regulatory agencies or authorities purporting to have jurisdiction over the Loan Parties (including bank examiners and any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners) upon request or as required by law, (iv) subject to the proviso below, to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (v) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties and
prospective counterparties in swap agreements related to the Credit Extensions or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties when provided for such purposes, (vi) permitted by the last sentence of this
Section, (vii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Credit Extensions hereunder, (viii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization and (ix) in connection
with enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Agents or any Lender under the Loan Documents to the extent such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to pursue such enforcement in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, in the
case of subsection (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent or relevant Lender to whom the disclosure request or requirement is made, agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify
the Borrower of such request or requirement so that the Borrower may (a) seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate order at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and/or (b) waive compliance with this proviso (it being
understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not have the right to obtain such an order or if the Borrower does not commence procedures to obtain such a protective order within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent and Lenders’ compliance with this proviso shall be deemed to have been waived with respect to such disclosure). Without limiting Section 10.9, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section shall set forth
the entire agreement between the Borrower and each Lender (including the Agents) with respect to any 

  
 131 








 
Confidential Information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered
into by such Lender with respect to such Confidential Information. As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” means any information or material regarding the business operations, procedures, methods and plans of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, any financial data, proposed transaction or financing structures, information relating to the Receivables or the Receivables Portfolios, and all reports (other than copies of reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission) and other information provided pursuant to Section 5.1, together with all notes, analyses, compilations, studies and other documents to the extent they contain or otherwise reflect such information; provided
that “Confidential Information” shall not include any such information which (i) is generally available to the public at the time it is provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) was known to the
intended recipient prior to such information being disclosed to either Agent or any Lender and/or (iii) is independently developed by or for the Agents or any Lender. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or
Eligible Assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the
creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by this Section. 

Section 10.13. Interest Rate Limitation.  

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and
other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been
received by such Lender. 
 Section 10.14. Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal.  

The Borrower represents and warrants that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document pursuant to any applicable law or any of its respective charter or organizational documents, agrees that this Agreement is delivered by Borrower under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result
from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other Loan Documents. 

  
 132 








 Section 10.15. Patriot Act.  

The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III
of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan
Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to the
extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot
Act. 
 Section 10.16. Independence of Covenants. 

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such
covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 

Section 10.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. 

In connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the
Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Arrangers is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Arranger has any
obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Arrangers has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
either Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
