in up to three (3) installments during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s unused Commitments. The aggregate amount of all Loans made on any Funding Date shall not be less than
$25,000,000. Upon a Lender’s funding of all or any portion of its Commitment, the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate by the amount so funded. The Borrowings may be ratable Base Rate Loans or ratable LIBOR Loans, as further provided
herein. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (b) The Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on the last day of the Availability Period, or, if earlier, concurrently with the funding of Loans on the third Funding Date. 

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed
Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or of any
conversion of LIBOR to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Subject to the aggregate minimum requirements for Borrowings set forth in
Section 2.01(a), (i) each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of

or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted,
(v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) with respect to any Committed Loan Notice requesting, or with respect to the conversion to or continuation of, any LIBOR Loans, the principal amount of
such LIBOR Loans, if any, that the Borrower has elected to have subject to a Specified Swap Contract that provides a hedge against interest rate risk and the Specified Swap Contract(s) to which such amount is subject. If the Borrower fails to
specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion
to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans in any such Committed
Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

  
 37 








 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00

with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to
the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect in respect of this Agreement.

prepaid and (iii) if LIBOR Loans are to be prepaid, (x) the Interest Period(s) of such LIBOR Loans and (y) the then remaining amount of LIBOR Loans, if any, that the Borrower has elected to have subject to a Specified Swap Contract
that provides a hedge against interest rate risk and the Specified Swap Contract(s) to which such amount is subject. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. 

(b) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower makes any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loans (whether
voluntary or otherwise) on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Premium”) equal to
(i) if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.00% of the principal amount so prepaid, and (ii) if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the
second anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.00% of the principal amount so prepaid. The Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable on the date of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06. 

2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the
Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total
Outstandings would exceed the Commitments. In the event that the Borrower terminates any unused Commitments on or prior to the expiration of the Availability Period and/or unused Commitments (other than with respect to concurrent termination of
Commitments for any Loans funded on the third Funding Date) terminate pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.01 or Section 8.02, on the date of such termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account
of the Lenders, an amount equal to 0.75% multiplied by the aggregate amount of such terminated unused Commitments (the “Commitment Termination Fee”). 

(b) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.07. Upon any reduction of the Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees in respect of the Commitments accrued until the effective
date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

  
 39 








 2.08 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date. 
 2.09 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) While any Event of Default exists under
Section 8.01(a)(i) or (f), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (c) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in
clause (b) above), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. 
 (d) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable
upon demand. 
 (e) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such
other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. In no event shall
interest on any Loan accrue concurrently during two separate Interest Periods. 
 2.10 Fees. 

(a) Ticking Fee. Beginning on the Closing Date, and until the earliest of (i) the initial Funding Date, (ii) the expiration of
the Availability Period and (iii) the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in respect of each Lender’s remaining Commitment, a ticking fee (the “Ticking
Fee”) calculated at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Commitments, payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the last business day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, on the last day of each
fiscal quarter thereafter and on the earlier of (i) the initial Funding Date and (ii) the expiration of the Availability Period (or if earlier, the Facility Termination Date). The Borrower acknowledges that the fee payable hereunder is a
bona fide commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes. 

  
 40 








 (b) Other Fees. 

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts
and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason. 

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at
the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 2.11
Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. 
 (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans
(including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to LIBOR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day
year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Parent, or for any other reason, (i) the
ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Asset Value as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of Total Indebtedness to Total Asset Value would have resulted in higher pricing for such
period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry
of an order for relief with respect to the Parent or any other Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the
amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under
Section 2.09(b) or 2.09(c) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 

2.12 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the 

  
 41 








 
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. On the Closing Date, upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its applicable Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. 
 2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at
the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b) (i) Funding of Loans by Lenders; Presumption by
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of
such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the 

  
 42 








 
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by the
Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that
the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such
event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy
Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loans set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received
from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation, to make any such purchase or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to
purchase its participation, or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

  
 43 








 2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued
interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably 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 or
subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 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 or any Guarantor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower or such Guarantor in the
amount of such participation. 
 2.15 [Intentionally Omitted]. 

2.16 Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent on up to four (4) occasions during the
period from the Closing Date to the date that is 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date, enter into one or more tranches of incremental term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) in each case in minimum increments of
$25,000,000, and in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 from one or more additional Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide all or any applicable portion of such Incremental Term Loans, each in
their own discretion. The Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of the Borrower, to arrange a syndicate of Lenders willing to hold the requested Incremental Term Loans. If Lenders
are willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans, the Incremental Term Loans may be made with the consent of only the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and each new or existing Lender
providing all or any applicable portion of such Incremental Term Loan so long as the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans (including all Incremental Tem Loans) does not exceed $365,000,000 less any voluntary reductions of the
Commitments after the Closing 

  
 44 








 
Date pursuant to Section 2.07(a). Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to provide Incremental Term Loans.
Such Incremental Term Loans shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Incremental Term Loans in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new Lender(s) or existing
Lender(s) providing such Incremental Term Loan, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan shall become effective under this
Section 2.16 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as to the board resolutions evidencing authority for such Incremental Term Loan and as to any changes
to the formation documents of the Borrower since the Closing Date, and (iii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.11 after giving effect to the Incremental Term Loans to be made on such
date and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date. The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Facility
Termination Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the other Loans. The Amendment Regarding Incremental Term Loan may, without the
consent of any other Lenders (except as expressly required pursuant to Section 10.01), 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, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16 and such Amendment Regarding Incremental Term Loan may, if applicable, include provisions that are agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent with respect to remedial
rights under this Agreement to ensure that the existing Loans shall not be materially adversely affected by such Incremental Term Loans. In connection with any Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16, any Lender becoming a party
hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide
to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including without limitation, the Act. 
 2.17 [Intentionally Omitted]. 

2.18 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 
 (i) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, and
Section 10.01. 

  
 45 








 (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees
or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 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, 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; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding
obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, 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 sixth, 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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made
at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments hereunder. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. No Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Sections
2.06(c), 2.07(a) or 2.10(a) 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) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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, 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 to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in 

  
 46 








 
accordance with their Applicable Percentages, 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. 

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

3.01 Taxes. 
 (a)
[Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) require 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, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (f) below.

 (ii) If any Withholding Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both
United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the applicable Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the applicable Withholding Agent to be required based upon
the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (f) below, (B) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) above, 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. 

  
 47 








 (d) Tax Indemnifications. 

(i) The Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof 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 3.01) 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. The Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the
Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(d)(ii) below. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) to the extent the Administrative Agent indefeasibly receives payment in full from the Borrower pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence for an amount that a Lender was required to indemnify the Administrative Agent for pursuant to clause (y) or (z) of Section 3.01(d)(ii), and subsequent thereto the Administrative Agent receives payment from
such Lender (including by way of set off pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.01(d)(ii)) for that same indemnity that was previously paid in full by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will promptly turn over to the Borrower the
amount so received (including by way of set off pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.01(d)(ii)) from such Lender (but in any event not in excess of the amount previously paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in respect
of such indemnity) and (B) to the extent the Administrative Agent receives a payment from the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for an amount that a Lender was required to indemnify the Administrative Agent for pursuant to
clause (y) or (z) of Section 3.01(d)(ii), such Lender shall be liable to the Borrower for reimbursement of such payment. 

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after
demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against 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), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating
to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower 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 

  
 48 








 
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 this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). 
 (e) Evidence of
Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

(f) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, 
 (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 

  
 49 








 
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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or
successor form) 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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form) 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 L-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 L-2 or Exhibit L-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 L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made; and 

  
 50 








 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 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. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the
Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient
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 by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that
the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection the
payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

  
 51 








 (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall
survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is
determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR
component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day,
or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall during
the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof,
(a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan or
(ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause
(a) above, “Impacted Loans”) or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended,
(to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR component in


  
 52 








 
determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request
for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made
the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which
case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this
section, (2) the Administrative Agent determines, or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the
Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest
is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing
and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. 
 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Loans. 

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
(other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to LIBOR (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 53 








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

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 (e) Reserves on LIBOR Loans. Without duplication of amounts calculated in accordance with the definition of
“LIBOR”, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as
“Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 

(f) Consistent Treatment. Each Lender agrees that amounts claimed under this Section 3.04 shall be reasonably determined by
such Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.04
after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant). 

  
 54 








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

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (b) any failure by the
Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 

(c) any assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.13; or 
 including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
LIBOR Loan made by it at LIBOR for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded. 

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the
Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at
the request of the Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need
for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any 

  
 55 








 
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 5.07 No

to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.09 Environmental Compliance.

 ARTICLE IX. ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT 
 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any
other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. 

  
 85 








 
Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or
termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim
against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default (other than a Default resulting from the failure to make any payment of or interest on any Loan), unless
and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, describing with reasonable specificity such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. 

  
 86 








 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. If a Lender becomes aware of an Event of Default or a Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact. Upon receipt of such notice that an Event of Default or a Default
has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact. 
 If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the
consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall, or, in the case of any request for consent or approval that is subject to clauses (a) through (g) of Section 10.01, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, respond and either
approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period, but in no event less than five (5) Business Days for responses based on
Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent provided that the request for approval states the time by which a
response is needed before approval is deemed given. Solely with respect to any request for consent or approval requiring only the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 10.01, if the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be
deemed to have approved the request. Upon request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders which Lenders, if any, failed to respond to a request for approval. 

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates
pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. 

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to
such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
 87 








 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the
Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower upon
ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice if the Lender then acting in the capacity of Administrative Agent (i) shall be a Defaulting Lender or (ii) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties under this Agreement. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default or Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond within
ten (10) Business Days (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Designated Lender as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the current Administrative
Agent, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice, or, in the case of removal, at the end
of such ten (10) Business Day period, and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its future duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such
Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as the 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
current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its future duties and 

  
 88 








 
obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure
to its and its Related Parties’ benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may
assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice. For clarification, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall
Administrative Agent be released or discharged (i) from any duties, obligation or liabilities hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, as and to the extent the same related to or accrue during the period prior to Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal under this Section 9.06 and (ii) from its obligations and liabilities as a Lender, in either case as a result of its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent hereunder and/or its delegation of duties as
Administrative Agent hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. 

(b) Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to
make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

9.07 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or the Syndication Agent or the
Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof, in each case in their capacities as such, shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

9.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 2.11(b) and 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

  
 89 








 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09,
2.11(b) and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent
to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any
Lender or in any such proceeding. 
 9.09 Guaranty Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.08, each Lender
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon request by the Administrative
Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.09.

hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not
given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the
extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b). 
 (b) Electronic
Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the
Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes,
(i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, 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, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, e-mail or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT
WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY 

  
 93 








 
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the
Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet. 
 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each
of the Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile
or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore,
each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order
to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon
any notices (including telephonic notices, and Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by
any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of
them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative
Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 10.03 No Waiver;
Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers
and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

  
 94 








 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be
instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative
Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance
with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.14), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party
under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.14,
any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, any Arranger and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Arrangers, which shall be limited to one special counsel
to all such parties and, where appropriate, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which shall be limited to one special counsel to all such parties and, where appropriate, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower.
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, the Arrangers and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, which shall be limited to one special counsel to all such parties,
where appropriate, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one additional counsel for each Indemnitee 

  
 95 








 
for whom such joint representation results in the conflict of interest), 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 Person (including any of same asserted by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, but excluding any of same asserted by Related Parties of such
Indemnitee) 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, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) 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, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates, (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee or its Affiliate for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s or its Affiliates 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 or (z) resulting from any dispute
solely among Indemnitees other than (A) any claims against the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) or any Arranger in their respective capacities, as or in fulfilling their respective roles, as an administrative agent or arranger
in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of any of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(d),
this Section 10.4(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes covered by Section 3.01) other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Syndication Agent, any Arranger or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Syndication Agent, such Arranger or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
of such unpaid amount (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Syndication Agent 

  
 96 








 
or any Arranger in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Syndication Agent or any Arranger in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d). 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not assert, and
each party hereto hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee or any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the
use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the Borrower’s obligations under Sections 10.04(a) and (b). No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not
later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of
the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Loan Documents and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 97 








 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section,
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (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 subsection (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) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any
time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to
the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of
the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments
to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of
determining whether such minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 

  
 98 








 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or (except in the case of an assignment of all or any portion of any Lender’s Commitment) 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 ten (10) 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 if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the
case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any Affiliate or
Subsidiary of the Borrower, (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), or (C) to a
natural Person. 
 (vi) 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 

  
 99 








 
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable
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 subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be
a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely
for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic
form) 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 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 the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of the Borrower) (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 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 and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. 

  
 100 








 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) 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 Sections 3.06 and 10.13 as if it
were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the
applicable participation would have been entitled to receive. 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 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees
to be subject to Section 2.14 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. 

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall
release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 101 








 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over
such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 10.01 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other
transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Loan Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Parent or any of
its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit
facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent or
any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure
by the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, 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 

  
 102 








 
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or
Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (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 2.18 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 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 and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender 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. 

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to
be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds
the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Without limitation of Section 10.21, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or
“tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 103 








 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made
hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will
be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default at the time of any extension of credit, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. 

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
(a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating
to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06,
or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b); 

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter or the Borrower (or in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the
Borrower will in the future result in a reduction in compensation or payments that they are required to pay pursuant to Section 3.01); 

  
 104 








 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and 

(e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions,

Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the Act.

CONTINUING GUARANTY 

CONTINUING GUARANTY (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of
August 24, 2015 made by and among each of the undersigned guarantors (together with any other entity that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 19 hereof, each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the
“Guarantors”) in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as
therein defined. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent”), Empire State Realty OP, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, have entered into a Term Loan Agreement, dated
as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), providing for the making of Loans to the Borrower, all as contemplated therein; 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower; 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Term Loan Agreement, and the making of Loans thereunder, that each Guarantor
shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent this Guaranty; and 
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain substantial direct
and indirect benefits from the incurrence of Loans by the Borrower under the Term Loan Agreement and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the condition described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to
make Loans to the Borrower; 







 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and hereby covenants and agrees with each
other Guarantor and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: 
 1. Guaranty.
Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of the Obligations (for each Guarantor, subject to the proviso in this sentence, its “Guaranteed Obligations”);
provided, that the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. The books and records of the Administrative Agent showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any
action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantors and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by
any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or
hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 
 2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. All payments by
any Guarantor hereunder shall be made in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 3.01 of the Term Loan Agreement. 

3. Rights of Guaranteed Parties. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Guaranteed Parties may, at any time and from time to time,
without notice or demand to or consent of such Guarantor, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the times for payment or the
terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, impair or otherwise dispose of any security, or any Lien granted, for the payment of this Guaranty or any
Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as provided in the Loan Documents; and (d) release or substitute any other Guarantor or one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantors under this Guaranty
or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of one or more of the Guarantors. 

  
 2 








 4. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Guaranteed Party) of the
liability of the Borrower (other than the defense of prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations); (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower;
(c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Guaranteed Party to proceed against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, proceed against or exhaust any
security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Guaranteed Party; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Guaranteed Party; and (f) to the
full extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses (other than the defense of prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or
sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or
demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. 

5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, and a separate action may be brought against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower
or any other Person is joined as a party. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of all the Guarantors. 

6. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with
respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until after the Facility Termination Date. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the
benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan
Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing, whether matured or unmatured. 

7. Termination; Reinstatement. 

(a) Subject to the terms of Section 8 below, this Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of all
Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date, and upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date this Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further effect
(provided that all indemnities set forth herein and the other Loan Documents shall survive any such termination). 

  
 3 








 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms of Section 8 below, this
Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or a Guaranteed Party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Guaranteed Party in
its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the
Guaranteed Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

 8. Release of Liability of Guarantor Upon Sale or Dissolution and Certain Other Events. (a) In the event that the
Administrative Agent is required to release any Guarantor from its guaranty and other obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 10.19 of the Term Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent will release such Guarantor in accordance with
Section 10.19 of the Term Loan Agreement. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Guaranteed Party as
a result of any release of any Guarantor by it in accordance with (or which the Administrative Agent in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct believes to be in accordance with) this Section 8 or Section 10.19 of the Term
Loan Agreement. 
 9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors who are not subject to such
automatic stay immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 10. Expenses. The Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay
on demand all out-of- pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender if, and to the same extent that, the Borrower is required to pay such out-of-pockets expenses under Section 10.04 of the Term Loan Agreement. The
obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 

11. Modifications; Miscellaneous. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
except in a writing signed by each Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than
the Guarantor so added or released) and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders (excluding, in all events, all Defaulting Lenders), as and to the extent required by Section 10.01 of the Term Loan
Agreement). No failure by any Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any 

  
 4 








 
remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. This
Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties (or any of them) or any term or provision thereof. 

12. Condition of Loan Parties. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means
of, obtaining from the Loan Parties and any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Loan Parties and any such other guarantors as such Guarantor requires, and
that no Guaranteed Party has any duty, and no Guarantor is relying on any Guaranteed Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Loan Party or any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Guaranteed Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same). 

13. Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Guarantor hereby authorizes each Lender and their
respective Affiliates to exercise against such Guarantor the rights of set-off set forth in Section 10.08 of the Term Loan Agreement. 

14. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty, and all necessary authority has been obtained; (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought at law or in equity); (c) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not violate the provisions of any material applicable law, regulation, judgment or
order, and does not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any material Contractual Obligation of such Guarantor; and (d) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings
and registrations with, any Governmental Authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. Subject to the release of any Guarantor
pursuant to Section 8 above or other written termination of this Guaranty with respect to any Guarantor executed or acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, in addition, each Guarantor represents and warrants that (x) until after the
Facility Termination Date has occurred, such Guarantor will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in the
Term Loan Agreement, and so that no Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries; and (y) an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Loan Documents has been made available to a senior officer of
such Guarantor and such officer is familiar with the contents thereof. 
 15. Indemnification and Survival. Without limitation on any
other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of any Guaranteed Party under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, to the full extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold


  
 5 








 
harmless each Indemnitee if, and to the same extent that, the Borrower is required indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless such Indemnitee under Section 10.04 of the Term Loan
Agreement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 

16. Guaranty Enforceable by Administrative Agent. This Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, in each
case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (to the extent required under the Term Loan Agreement) and no other Guaranteed Party will have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and
agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, upon the terms of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this
Section 16 is solely for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties. 
 17. Obligations of Guarantors Independent. The obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is
brought against any other Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Person may be joined in any such action or actions. 

18. Subordination of Indebtedness Held by Guarantors. Any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is
hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations, and such indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties, shall be segregated from all other property or funds of such Guarantor and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. In the event that any Guarantor receives
any payment of any indebtedness described in the first sentence of this Section 18 prior to the Facility Termination Date and during the existence of an Event of Default, such payment of such indebtedness which has been received by such
Guarantor, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall be received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties, shall be segregated from all other property or funds of such Guarantor and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of any Loan Party to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark
such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Parties that it will not exercise any right of
subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty 

  
 6 








 
(whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until after the Facility Termination Date has occurred; provided that if any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights prior to such time, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties to be
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing. Upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Guaranteed Parties to receive payments or distributions
applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations until all Indebtedness of the Loan Parties held by such Guarantor shall be paid in full. 
 19.
Additional Guarantors. Any Person that is required to become a party to this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in the form
attached hereto as Annex I. 
 20. Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under
this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each
date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who either has not made any payments or
has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the
date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the
Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to
the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment at the time of each computation; provided, that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until after the Facility Termination Date has
occurred, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 20 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other
Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 20, (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall
mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall
mean the greater 

  
 7 








 
of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair
saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this
Guaranty) on such date. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 20, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of
contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until after the Facility Termination Date has occurred. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall
constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor
would remain solvent, in the determination of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. 
 21. Counterparts. This Guaranty
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A
set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 22. Headings
Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty. 

23. Governing Law; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS AND THE GUARANTEED
PARTIES UNDER THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION. 
 This Guaranty shall (a) bind each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or
obligations under this Guaranty (and any attempted such assignment without such consent shall be null and void), and (b) inure to the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and the Lenders may,
in accordance with Section 10.06 of the Term Loan Agreement and without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, assign, sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part. 

EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR
RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES 

  
 8 








 
THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR, ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE
COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
 EACH
GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02 OF THE TERM LOAN AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
 24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH GUARANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE GUARANTEED PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 

  
 9 








 25. DAMAGE WAIVER. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto
shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of proceeds
thereof; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the Guarantors’ indemnity obligations under Section 10 and Section 15 hereof. 

  
 10 








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed and delivered as of
the date first above written.

 Annex I to the Continuing Guaranty 

Form of Joinder to Continuing Guaranty 

JOINDER NO.    , dated as of            ,
20    (this “Joinder”), to the Continuing Guaranty dated as of August 24, 2015 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by the Affiliates

for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 A. Reference is made to (a) the Term Loan Agreement dated as of
August 24, 2015 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”) among the Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, Empire State Realty OP, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and (b) the Guaranty. 

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Guaranty. 

C. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Term Loan Agreement, [NAME OF ENTITY],
a                    (the “New Guarantor”) is required to become a party to the Guaranty and guaranty the Obligations of the
Borrower. The New Guarantor is executing this Joinder in accordance with the requirements of the Term Loan Agreement and Section 19 of the Guaranty to become a party to the Guaranty. 

Accordingly, the New Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 

SECTION 1. The New Guarantor is hereby added as a party to the Guaranty and hereby agrees to be bound as a “Guarantor” by all of the

applicable to a “Guarantor” contained in the Guaranty. 
 SECTION 2. The New Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that this Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
at law or in equity). 
 SECTION 3. The New Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that its
U.S. taxpayer identification number is set forth under its signature to this Joinder. 







 SECTION 4. This Joinder may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 6. THIS JOINDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES

 EXHIBIT H 

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 
 I,
the undersigned, chief financial officer of EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent”), DO HEREBY CERTIFY on behalf of the Loan Parties that: 

1. This certificate is furnished pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ix) of the Term Loan Agreement (as in effect on the date of this
certificate; the capitalized terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) dated as of August 24, 2015 among Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, Empire State Realty OP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership,
the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. 
 2. After giving effect
to the transactions to occur on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, all Borrowings to occur on the Closing Date), (a) the fair value of the property of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than the
total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is not less
than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on their debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis do not intend to, and do not believe they will, incur debts or
liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature, (d) the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a
transaction, for which their property would constitute an unreasonably small capital, and (e) the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are able to pay their debts and liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as
they mature in the ordinary course of business. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably
be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
